Lane Kiffin Identifies LSU’s Biggest Concern, Hints At Potential Solution

By Staff Reporter•Aug 20, 20262:54 pm•

USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect

LSU coach Lane Kiffin spoke with the media on Thursday and said the team's biggest concern right now is offensive line depth.

During his comments, Kiffin suggested that Wednesday's ruling regarding fifth-year eligibility could potentially provide a solution if LSU needs to go that route:

quote:
"It's a concern. It's high on our list of concerns right now. We have to continue to get guys better; they have to improve so we feel more confident with that."

"Before yesterday, we normally would say our team is our team, so it's what we got. But I guess that potentially changed yesterday."

Through fall camp so far, LSU's first-team offensive line has been:

LT: Jordan Seaton
LG: Bo Bordelon
C: Braelin Moore
RG: Aliou Bah
RT: Weston Davis

Several other linemen that could be in the mix include Devin Harper, William Satterwhite II, Sean Thompkins Jr., Darrin Strey, and others.

Sorting out the depth behind the starters will be a focus for Kiffin and his staff as the season opener approaches.

Is he talking about some guys who went in the NFL draft who might be coming back?

think so

Surprised it's not DE or CB but I guess I shouldn't be. Most of the o-line pickups seemed like just bodies aside from Seaton, Bah, and Harper. And Harper is getting beat out by Bordelon

Good to hear that this is being addressed

Been the biggest issue for 3 years

As long as no one gets hurt we will be okay

I like the optimism, but it's a violent contact sport. Players usually get hurt...unfortunately. He seems to be thinking ahead.

Well,,,, not all of the OL players drafted will make the cuts. Should be some an available in a week.

I know a really good one at Tyler JC that would like to come next year. But will never get a look.

We have 21 OLinemen. I remember during Les years having 12 to 15 Olinemen. The ones on the team must be young. Which some are or not many snaps.

I think we'll be fine

The fact they didn’t replace Weston Davis after last year is kind of dumbfounding

chadr07•18 hours

Some media sources are saying that Weston has improved quite a bit from last year due to competent coaching this season. So let’s not write Weston off just yet. Let’s see if he’s actually improved and can live up to that 5 star rating with good coaching.

Yeah, LSU fans can have blinders on at times - the guy was 19 or 20 replacing Emery Jones. Anyone is going to look like a step back at that point. He definitely has the body of an elite tackle. Let's see how it goes first before we declare "no improvement" at RT.

No matter who the coach, what the circumstances with NIL, no matter how much we spend on getting o-linemen, our o-line will always be a weakness. Strange other SEC schools simply do not have this problem.
