VIDEO: Coach O Spotted Doing Jumping Jacks Before LSU-Georgia SEC Championship
By Andy Loughmiller
The SEC Championship Game between the LSU Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs will have serious implications on which four teams will be selected to compete in this season's College Football Playoff. Bayou Bengals head coach Ed Orgeron was seen doing jumping jacks alongside his players prior to kickoff, and it's just as glorious as we imagined.

The best way to make sure something works is to try it yourself, and that's exactly what Coach O did during the Tigers' pregame calisthenics. He and the entire team look ready to go for what is far and away the most-anticipated conference championship game of the weekend.
This is why the nation has fallen in love with Orgeron. He just seems like a down to earth guy who loves his players. It's crazy to think that people were up in arms about his performance early on during his tenure as LSU's head coach.
Opinion: "When (Les) Miles finally got the boot during the 2016 season ... LSU decided to stick with Orgeron. To many, it looked like the Tigers had gotten the short end of the stick.

Everything is coming together for the Tigers. A win over the Dawgs Saturday would help them clinch the No. 1 spot in the playoff rankings.
If the jumping jack video is any indication, Orgeron is fired up for another big game versus a ranked opponent.
