That loss to Alabama was not mainly on the O line

Let's not forget the clossal frickup Alexander and Alleva had. We had an opportunity to come into this season with a new offensive philosophy with Jimbo, but because of them we didn't and had no choice but to promote a tight ends coach to call plays in Les's system.

The Miles' clause is what caused that to happen...

They didn't play well but you can't blame the line cause the coaches didn't put them in best position to succeed. It's tough for anyone to play well when the defenders know exactly what is gonna happen and there are is no design and imagination to the plays or formations. So yes you can blame those idiots for putting us in the situation by not making the coaching change last year.

Nah, we lost because we let the Dolphins poach Saban years ago

What makes you think Jimbo would have beaten Alabama? His FSU team lost by 40+ to Louisville.

I'm not blaming the players much at all. Im blaming the administration for fricking up the opportunity to have a great offensive minded coach get the keys to the loaded team. And let's not forget who the defensive coordinator is, but instead we were handcuffed into a tight ends coach calling plays without the luxury or an offseason for him to implement his offense.

With our offensive line, I doubt it.

They way they were physically dominated, possibly. It was a blood bath.

Doesn't matter what system. We were overmatched on the o line. Receivers couldn't get separation. They were the better team. Move forward to Arkansas

They seemed to be doing good when we were breaking records though. Obviously I don't expect to break records against Bama, but more than 125 yards maybe? Coaching couldn't have helped at all? A better OC could have contributed absolutely nothing? Are you sure?

Yes it was. They got beat one on one consistently and were getting pushed back most of the night.
Reality is Bama's DL > LSU's OL

We lost Bc our Oline wouldn't block and hold (like bama did) and mostly etling wasn't on his game. We had easy first down passes that he'd just miss. We were calling the right plays just didn't execute them

Most every offense Bama played are giving up turnovers for TD's. Comparatively speaking (only) we fared better than most.

...except when it came to actually scoring. I guess that's why Etling took all those sacks rather than getting rid of the ball quickly.

That's not on Alleva. He knew what had to be done. He was ready. The TAF was ready.
We don't know who leaked the plan to dump MIles' but it wasn't Alleva.
