LSU had all of the momentum that they needed to win this game and they just could not get it done.

Would having Leonard Fournette have made a difference? I’m not sure. LSU was in prime position to get to the Sugar Bowl and yet the team fell flat, particularly down on the goal line where the Gators stuffed them multiple times. Ed Orgeron might have suffered the loss that will keep him from getting the full time head coaching job at LSU, but that remains to be seen. He could increase those chances again with a win against Texas A&M this Thursday. Regardless of what happens in the game against the Aggies or whether or not Orgeron does get the full time job, he has kept this team together and turned them around this season when things were looking dire.

Next game: November 24, at Texas A&M, 7:30pm ET ESPN
