Questions surround LSU coach Ed Orgeron following Saturday night's crushing 24-19 home loss to Auburn, only the Tigers' second setback in 43 games during his tenure after leading at halftime. Orgeron is 6-6 against SEC competition since winning the 2019 national championship and 8-7 overall, tough-to-stomach numbers at one of the nation's elite programs.
At times, LSU looked disorganized offensively, forcing early timeouts and did not seem to manage the final quarter during Auburn's comeback.
"Very disappointing loss. I thought our guys fought very hard," Orgeron said after the game. "We couldn’t capitalize on some opportunities, especially in the red zone. We had to settle for some field goals. Their quarterback, we couldn’t get him down. He made some tremendous plays, so give him credit. That was the ballgame, we couldn’t run the football, we couldn’t block well up front, and we couldn’t tackle the quarterback.”
Next up for LSU? A trip to unbeaten and nationally-ranked Kentucky next week.
Here's some of the media reaction following LSU's loss to Auburn and what that means for Orgeron moving forward:
