Anyone consider putting the OLine under pressure was the goal last night?

We can all agree that was an absurd amount of power-I and one reciever sets. In usual rant fashion, some have declared that the OLine is now terrible. I saw a defense stacking the box almost every single down, which is always a struggle for the big uglies. Anyone else think this was part of the plan to toughen them up a bit and work out who the true starters should be going into the SEC slate?

Somehow Arkansas succeeded at running straight at a stacked box.

Maybe because Arkansas runs more than just the power 90+% of the time.
The TD run by Williams was funny. We faked the pitch(which we really haven't run) to hand it off on a power to the FB.

Thank you for not addressing the OP and bringing your usual antagonistic shite to the table. You truly are an asset to the board.

I think that was exactly what LSU was doing OP. The veteran OL, TEs, and FBs for some reason haven't been doing as well as they did last year and they continued that trend last night. These are the three position groups where we have experience on offense.
Grimes is apparently a good recruiter, but we all had high hopes he was a better OL coach than Stud. Maybe it takes time to adjust to his system. The first year last year at VT they didn't have a good OL...hopefully talent problems. Also, Gus worked with him and didn't retain at Aub...I might be wrong on this not sure. Something is different and I hope it is not Jeff.
Everyone has been singing his praises on here and that thank goodness we got rid of a BBQ buddy, but what is going on. Trai Turner was good, but Hoko and Washington did well last year along with everybody else that is back.

Always the excuse but hardly ever true. The real reason it looks that way is because we, on offense, dictate the defensive formation and then the crash to the ball. Crowds will draw crowds, and then in your face, deception-less runs give the defense an easy target.

Rex, you do understand that the defense stacking the box isn't an opinion, right?
And there's the answer to my question. Look man, I am a fan of what you do on the poli board, getting herds of peoples' blood pressure up and such, but you're obviously not really qualified to talk about this. The entire point is that the defense stacks the box in reaction to the heavy formation, by the third series there was no question what was coming yet we stayed with it. The question posed in the OP is whether this was an aspect of our team the coaches wanted to put under stress to better identify weakness.

(Not exactly sure why that should be a "goal" though)

well there has to be some explanation of why we do what we do

OP I concur. If we play ULM and Sam Houston balls out we crush em and get no real work in for the SEC schedule. The obvious run heavy formations telegraphed intentions to ULM forcing our guys to work their butts off and focus on execution. Yeah it looked rough but that was the point. There will come times during the season when we need a yard against a stacked box and guys can rely upon this work against a live opponent to draw from.

has it been our goal to put "the OLine under pressure" for years now? Our OLine has underachieved for several years. We thought it was Stud. Hopefully, right now we just need for Porter to get back into his groove.

I trust that Cam knows h to run his offense. He knows what his guys are ready to execute and what they need to work on. I love Les but readily admit that he is stubborn. But I also trust that he has given enough control to Cam.

It may not be 100% correct but most refer to an I with two TEs as power I. For the sake of last night's game it might as well have been called "obvious as frick run between the tackles" formation.
All you other guys pointing out that the OLine has struggled in the past, I'm not arguing that. They struggled plenty last night. The question I'm asking is did the coaches purposefully put them in that position, where the defense knew it was coming over and over, to see who could really be counted on in the coming weeks, but in a game that was never really in doubt?

you must not have watched the arkansas game. 90% of the plays were run b/w the tackles.
