Ed Orgeron takes responsibility for LSU Tigers' performance following loss

LSU coach Ed Orgeron said the responsibility for his team's performance during a loss to Auburn on Saturday rests with him.

The loss dropped the Tigers to 3-2 on the season.

"Ultimately I'm responsible for the performance of the team," Orgeron told reporters on Monday. "I always will be responsible."

Orgeron has faced increasing criticism of late.

LSU went undefeated and won the national championship in 2019. Since then, the Tigers are just two games above .500.

The offense has been a particular point of concern with it being suggested that new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz has not been calling plays quickly enough or trying to change the play at the last second.
