“It’s a big man’s game.”
When LSU hired Ed Orgeron, he came with the express mission of rebuilding the defensive line. First as the DL coach and recruiting coordinator, O was hired to do what he does best and beat the road recruiting the best athletes across the country. It paid immediate dividends when he pulled Arden Key, and then a year later when he locked up Rashard Lawrence among others. What happened next surprised us all.
We don’t need to relive that history, but in Orgeron’s ascension the theme continues to be hammered: get bigger on the lines.
