LSU coach Ed Orgeron said at halftime of LSU’s 42-6 win over Utah State that the Tiger defense was playing with a chip on its shoulders.
The defense has been the most criticized aspect of LSU’s game this season, with a surging offense and steady special teams unit. LSU defensive lineman Neil Farrel said post game that the Tigers didn’t pay attention to any of that outside noise, but they played like they did.
“When you play to the standards of LSU football, you don’t play for anybody else but those three letters on you chest,” said junior defensive end Breiden Fehoko.
