LSU enters the fourth season of the Ed Orgeron era with more reason for hope than the Tigers have seen in several seasons.

LSU went 10-3 in 2018, its first double-digit win season in five years. That, of course, was thanks to a 40-32 win over No. 7 UCF in the Fiesta Bowl.

But this is life in the SEC, and the next challenge the Tigers face is to provide an even better encore.
