ATLANTA — Two years ago, after a loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa, LSU coach Ed Orgeron famously said “We comin’. And we ain’t backin’ down.”
Well the Tigers have come. They didn’t back down Saturday night in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, when LSU beat Georgia 37-10 to win the SEC Championship for the first time since 2011 and secure a spot in this year’s College Football Playoffs.
“So proud of our football team,” Orgeron said. “These guys are committed to excellence and great leadership. These two men (Joe Burrow and Derek Stingley) are excellent players, great team players. This is a great win.
