Last week LSU interim head coach Ed Orgeron stirred the pot a bit by saying "Hell Yeah" to the question can LSU beat Alabama. While some Bama fans took exception to Orgeron's bluster most saw it for what it was, a coach trying to fire up his team ahead of a huge game. Now as game prep has begun for LSU the truth has come out, Orgeron has nothing but respect for Alabama and he understands the challenge ahead of his team.
