LSU’s outgoing coach Ed Orgeron has nothing to lose and he is calling plays as such in an SEC game against Alabama on Saturday in Tuscaloosa.
How about the fake punt with the jump pass for a first down in the first quarter?
Avery Ashburn found Jack Mashburn with style on the trick play that was good for 26 yards and a first down.

A player more familiar with throwing the ball, Max Johnson, found Brian Thomas Jr. with an 8-yard scoring pass.

It was early but the Tigers were up, 7-0.
And what was school brass going to do if it backfired? Fire Oregron?
