BATON ROUGE, La. — The boos cascaded down from Tiger Stadium on Saturday night in the waning minutes of LSU’s inexplicable loss to Auburn. They began after yet another squandered LSU timeout — this one before the first play of a drive — but they represented something deeper.
For LSU fans, the boos signified a release of pent-up frustration for a team’s continual spiral to mediocrity — too many losses to mediocre underdogs, the abject failure to recreate that elusive Brady-Burrow magic and a potential breaking point for the tenure of Ed Orgeron.
The program that put together perhaps the greatest offensive season in college football history two years ago can’t even get off snaps consistently.
