It was nice to have a fun football game again, regardless of the outcome.
Let’s first give some credit to Ed Orgeron and the LSU football team. In a week marked by a seeming nonstop stream of bad news for the program, Orgeron did not lose the locker room. The team came out swinging, undermanned as they were. The team was undaunted by personnel losses, wild momentum swings, or even a fog rolling into the stadium. Max Johnson would put in work, and finish the game with 239 yards on 21/36 passing. Even bigger, he threw 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.
