Several days have passed since college football’s regular-season game of the year turned into Alabama’s 29-0 smothering of LSU inside Tiger Stadium.
LSU coach Ed Orgeron was quick to praise the top-ranked Crimson Tide after Saturday night’s slaughter, and his view of them has not changed.
“It’s one of the best football teams I’ve ever played,” Orgeron said Wednesday during the weekly SEC coaches teleconference. “They have a great quarterback, and, overall, I don’t see any weaknesses on that football team – the way their receivers caught the football, the release of Tua (Tagovailoa) and his escapability.
“Their defense is dominant. It’s a great football team.”
