It’s Underdog Week here at SB Nation, and I thought it’d be cool to, with my expanse of free time in the age of social distancing, examine the best underdog moment in recent LSU history. Ed Orgeron’s underdog status has been very well publicized from the jump, with a majority of the LSU fan base flabbergasted at the move. Come October 2017, the detractors looked to be vindicated: LSU got blown out by Mississippi State, had just lost to TROY in Death Valley, and the Tigers were unranked. Honestly it looked like an unmitigated disaster.
