How coach Ed Orgeron's redemption led to LSU football's transformation

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU coach Ed Orgeron has had the better part of two days to watch the game tape over and over again, to play back all the missed tackles and botched assignments against Ole Miss.

Coming off a momentous victory against Alabama, his defense looked hung over as it went on the road to Oxford. Defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence called what happened there an "embarrassing effort," giving up 614 total yards to a team that won't even make a bowl game. The Tigers made freshman quarterback John Rhys Plumlee look like the second coming of Lamar Jackson the way he ran up and down the field for 212 yards and four touchdowns.
