LSU OL Tweeted at Halftime of College Football Playoff Blowout vs Oklahoma
By Mark Powell
Ed Orgeron's a players' coach, but this might be taking things to the next level.
The LSU Tigers scored 49 points in the first half, and were so comfortably ahead that Orgeron felt comfortable enough telling ESPN that oft-injured RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire wouldn't play in the second half. Apparently, that sentiment was felt throughout the LSU locker room, as Tigers OL Adrian Magee sent out a Tweet at halftime.

Magee was shouting out former LSU Tiger and current NFL RB Derrius Guice, who gave his alma mater some love in the middle of their record-setting performance.
Yet, LSU essentially expected this. Joe Burrow even said so after the game. The Tigers knew the Sooners' defense didn't stand a chance against the Heisman winner, even with an extra few weeks of preparation. Hell, the Twitter account even followed Ohio State in the middle of the game.
When you’re winning as much as LSU is, you get some time to catch up on some tweets pic.twitter.com/T6XhJPAUdu

We admire LSU's confidence, especially given Oklahoma is no slouch. They might want to watch what they say before facing Ohio State or Clemson, though.
