LSU head coach Ed Orgeron has denied a quote attributed to him in Wednesday's USA Today report in which two women said running back Derrius Guice raped them when he played for the Tigers in 2016.
In a statement released on Twitter, Orgeron said the allegations against Guice "should be taken very seriously," but the "anonymous quote attributed to me by a former player in USA Today is not accurate":
In the report by Kenny Jacoby and Nancy Armour, at the time of the alleged sexual assault, the player in question was an LSU football recruit and boyfriend of the first woman who said Guice assaulted her.
