LSU Tigers coach Ed Orgeron seeks simplified defense amid rough start

LSU coach Ed Orgeron on Monday called for schematic and personnel changes to his defense after allowing a school record 96 points through the first three games of the season.

Orgeron said he still has faith in defensive coordinator Bo Pelini and believes that the defense can turn things around following a 45-41 loss to unranked Missouri. Saturday's loss dropped the Tigers to 1-2 and marked the first time a defending national championship team has lost two games to unranked opponents in its first three games of the season since the AP preseason poll began being released in 1950.
