You also have to wonder what in the hell happened to the "pre-season" best offensive line in the SEC. LSU's O-Line has seriously underperformed.

They've played well in games not against UF or Ole Miss.

More confusing is our D Line. Tyson Jackson and RJF have been huge disappointments and Pittman seems to have fallen off.

Yea, maybe. QB situation has not helped. Young QBs not stepping in the right spot under pressure in the pocket has hurt. When pressure is applied the offense line has schemes where the QB can step up. Also, the QB needs to find the area where he can get a second or two more to find receivers. Much of that is inexperience.

Defenses know we have 3rd-4th string QBs and playing off it. Crowding the line with 8-9, like Ole Miss did, and challenging the QB to throw the ball is the game plan. It has worked all season against LSU.

LSU receivers dropping balls does not help.

It all works hand in hand. O-line looks good when the QB makes smart decisions and when the receivers can catch.

No matter the talent at O-line, you can't effectively run the ball when teams stack 9 players on the line, filling gaps.
