BATON ROUGE - Ed Orgeron, who led the Tigers to a 5-2 mark as interim coach over the past two months, has been named LSUs head football coach, vice chancellor and director of athletics Joe Alleva announced on Saturday.Orgeron, a native of Larose, Louisiana, becomes the 33rd head football coach in LSU history. Orgeron, who has also served as head coach at Ole Miss and Southern Cal, is 11-4 in his Past 15 games as a head coach, which includes a 6-2 mark as interim coach at USC.This is a great day for LSU and for all of Louisiana, Alleva said. We got our man and hes been here all along. Coach Orgeron has demonstrated his ability to run this program with excellence, even under difficult circumstances. Coach O earned this job.I worked closely with (LSU) President Alexander and board leadership throughout a very deliberate process. By the end of that process, our decision was clear. Coach Orgeron took us step by step through every aspect of his plans for this program and there was no question that he is the man to lead LSU football.Since taking over as interim coach of the Tigers on Sept. 25, Orgeron guided LSU to a 5-2 mark, beating four Southeastern Conference opponents - Missouri, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Texas A&M - all by double-digits. LSUs two losses during that span came by a total of 16 points as the Tigers held top-ranked Alabama scoreless for three quarters and came up a yard short in falling to Florida, 16-10.In seven games under Orgeron, LSU set offensive records for most yards in a SEC game (634 vs. Missouri), longest scoring play from scrimmage (Derrius Guice 96-yard TD run vs. Arkansas), and twice set the school single-game rushing record (Leonard Fournette 284 yards vs. Ole Miss, Derrius Guice 285 yards vs. Texas A&M).Defensively, LSU held opponents scoreless for 14 of 28 quarters under Orgeron and limited the opposition to an average of 10.3 points per game over the seven contests. With 39 points, Texas A&M became the only team to score more than 21 points against LSU this year. Overall, LSUs defense, under Dave Aranda, ranks in the top three in the SEC in three major categories - scoring, total defense and rushing defense.Orgeron originally joined the Tiger staff in 2015 as defensive line coach, before adding the title of recruiting coordinator in the spring of 2016.In his first year with the Tigers in 2015, Orgerons defensive front served as a catalyst for a Tiger defense that ranked No. 3 in the SEC in both rushing yards (122.9 yards per game) and sacks (34). Six times in 2015 LSUs defense help opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing in a game, including limiting Mississippi State to 43 yards in the season-opener and Texas Tech to 29 in the Texas Bowl.Prior to joining the LSU staff, Orgerons last coaching stop came at Southern Cal where he served as recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach for the Trojans for four years (2010-13). Orgeron was elevated to interim head coach at USC for the final eight games of the 2013 season, leading the Trojans to a 6-2 mark over that span.As a player, Orgeron was a four-year starter on the defensive line for Northwestern State, captaining the Demons as a senior. He received his bachelors degree in liberal arts from Northwestern State in 1984.He starred in football, basketball and track at South Lafourche High in Galliano, La. On the big screen, Orgeron played himself in the 2009 Oscar-nominated movie, The Blind Side.Born July 27, 1961, he and his wife, Kelly, have three sons, Tyler, and twins Parker and Cody. Tyler is a member of the LSU football support staff, while twins Parker and Cody are in their first year as part of the McNeese State football team.Ed Orgeron File Year at LSU: Second (appointed Jan. 14, 2015)Birthdate: July 27, 1961, in Larose, La.Wife: KellyChildren: Tyler, Parker, CodyHigh School: South Lafourche High School (Galliano, La.)College: Northwestern State (La.), 1984Playing Experience1981-84 Northwestern (La.)

DENVER -- Semyon Varlamov put recent struggles behind him, and the Colorado Avalanches sputtering offense did the same -- at least for one night.Varlamov had 32 saves, Patrick Wiercioch and Rene Bourque scored 22 seconds apart and the Avalanche beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-1 on Tuesday night.Gabriel Landeskog and Blake Comeau also scored for Colorado, and Wiercioch added an assist for an offense that scored more than three goals for the first time in 12 games.Weve been waiting for this (for) pretty long, Varlamov said of the four goals. Its always nice to see them.Varlamov had been a victim of Colorados lack of offense when he went through a personal five-game losing streak. He struggled, too, posting a 3.07 goals-against average during that stretch, though he bounced back in a losing effort against Boston on Sunday.He followed that 44-save performance with another strong one against the Kings.The team played well in front of me, he said. When the guys score lots of goals it gives you more confidence.Dustin Brown scored for Los Angeles and Peter Budaj stopped 26 shots. It was the Kings fourth straight loss after opening their five-game trip with a win in Toronto.We hit some posts, but we didnt bear down on the chances we had, Drew Doughty said. We have to make our chances count.The Avalanche had not scored a regulation goal for more than five periods before getting two quick ones at the start of the second.Wiercioch broke through when he stuffed the puck between Budajs skate and the post at 1:10 for his second goal of the season.I was skating behind the net and saw him cheating off the post, so I tried it, Wiercioch said. It doesnt work a lot in practice. Maybe he was reading pass because we had a guy coming down in the slot. I was able to get my stick around and jam it off his pad.ddddddddddddBourque then put his stick on Mikko Rantanens shot from the blue line and redirected it past Budaj at 1:32. It was his fifth of the season and third in three games.The Kings had several chances to get back into it before Brown scored. With Tyson Barrie off for hooking, Nic Dowd backhanded the puck to the front of the net and Brown knocked it in to make it 2-1 with 31 seconds left in the period. It was his third of the season and just the second power-play goal in the last 33 chances for the Kings.The Avalanche made it a two-goal game at 11:32 of the third when Comeau beat Budaj with a shot from between the circles. The Kings challenged play, claiming Jarome Iginla interfered with Budaj, but the goal was upheld upon review.We challenged it because the goalies in the blue paint and he gets bumped a little, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said.Landeskog scored an empty-net goal at 18:23 to make it 4-1.Game notes Avalanche C Nathan MacKinnon had a career-high 10 shots on goal. ...
