BATON ROUGE -- After leading the Tigers to a perfect record in the regular season and the program's 12th SEC Championship, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron and senior quarterback Joe Burrow received SEC Coach of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year honors from the league's coaches.
The pair became the first from LSU to score the honors in the same season since 1958, when halfback Billy Cannon was named player of the year and Paul Dietzel was coach of the year after leading LSU to its first football national championship.
