Stacked. I just hope they can improve on their pass blocking.

Not to start an argument, but he held the ball way too long a lot of times too.

The new offense will make the line look better, I think.

They will be just fine! Last year they were injured. Having played Oline I've learned that it takes time for a line to groove and be at their full potential. Without injuries the line will be just fine. With injuries, we have solid back ups that will be ready to step in and make an impact.

I have a close friend who played OL at LSU. He is of the opinion that last year's OL under performed and that's putting it mildly. He is more vocal than that about it.

However, he also believes it had a lot to do with injuries (Faulk, Wiliford, etc.) and players leaving (Hurst). It forced a player who had never played tackle into the left tackle spot and two freshman to play the right side.

He expects this year's line to be much improved with his fingers crossed with respect to the center spot.

Better than last year's, not as good as next year's.

A number of players got big game experience because of the injuries or departures and I believe this will go a long way this year. With the solid group of freshmen coming in and also the emergence of Pocic, who is living up to the bill, we could have a great line barring injury.

center is a concern at this point.

Is Pocic a freshman?

Pretty damn good. Lots of options. Even the backups look stout. Collins, Williford, Turner, Alexander, Porter, Washington, Hakwins, and Pocic all have starting potential. With Fehoko and Austin both having a chance. Probably the best 2 deep in the country
