Ed Orgeron took over as LSU's interim head coach in 2016, and three years later led the Tigers to a national title in one of the most dominant seasons the sport has ever seen. The last two years have fallen short, but Saturday night provided a warm sendoff for the former national coach of the year.
LSU used a last-minute touchdown to upset No. 15 Texas A&M, 27–24, to pick up its sixth win and become bowl eligible on Saturday night. The Tigers used a nine-play, 85-yard drive that was capped by a 28-yard touchdown pass from Max Johnson to Jaray Jenkins with 20 seconds remaining.
