The Truth: Backs Against the Wall

Every Monday around here is 'Tell the Truth Monday.' Here's this week's version of The Truth, a weekly recap of Monday's storylines through the eyes of the LSU players and coaches.

Ed Orgeron is used to going to Gainesville with his back against the wall.

Rewind to 2017. LSU was 3-2, winless in the SEC, and fresh off a home loss to Troy when Orgeron led the Tigers into The Swamp.

They came away with a 17-16 win, salvaging the season and setting the tone for a program that would hoist the national championship trophy 818 days later.
