Only one thing surprised Ed Orgeron about his team’s aggressive mindset on Saturday in a 36-16 win over No. 2 Georgia.
It wasn’t how fired up they came out, or how disciplined they were, or how well they executed the game plan.
It was how thoroughly the aggression seeped to all corners of the team.
The kicker, included.
For all the big plays in the victory, perhaps the one that best sums up how LSU won the game – and how it will need to win future games, starting Saturday at home against No. 22 Mississippi State – is the fourth quarter fumble recovery by kickoff specialist Avery Atkins.
