Chidi Okeke at LT, Ethan Pocic at RT, Maea Teuhema at LG and Andy Dodd at center.

With two offensive line starters (Clapp and Weathersby) likely out for Saturday's game, the Tigers worked several combinations, including center Ethan Pocic at right tackle, Andy Dodd at center, Maea Teuhema at right tackle and left guard and Garrett Brumfield at left guard.

Maybe Grimes thought he was ready but Les overruled him? I guess we may see just how over-ruling Les was...

My guess is this is a contingency if certain injuries occur.

Good. Pocic is not a C.

I'm so glad someone sees a change is needed on the o-line. Glad it's coach O.

Boutee is a liability. Teuhema is a monster at guard. I woukd be shocked if Okeke is ready for SEC play.

Dodd and Etling practiced exchanges all year last year, he should've been the center when Etling first got the job.

Pocic is needed elsewhere

Coach O is letting the position coach do their jobs.

I'm not saying he isn't, but his game against Missouri was probably his best as a Tiger.

Yeah, we wouldn't want him to be the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week again at center.

LSU center Ethan Pocic was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week

The week before against a quality DL he got manhandled. He may work out with the changes made I guess we will see.

We can only hope he gets better or his replacement beats him out at this point. I'm not sure whole sale changes every game is going to be great for the development of the unit, though, so the solution needs to come fast.

I would agree about Boutte before Missouri but he had a really good game.
