Pocic will start Saturday. Porter does not play at a high enough level to make a claim as a starter.

Haven't we been playing without our center?

What happened to Ethan Pocic ? Against Wisky he is the most outstanding O lineman. Now he sits the pine. The entire O line looked very soft last nite,despite outweighing the ULM defensive line by 40 lbs. a man. What's up with that ? there was no push at all. ULM was standing our O line straight up. That better get fixed quick.

Pocic rested his ankle bro. He wasn't benched.

Jeff Grimes may be great at hosting pool parties and texting players, but so far he can't hold Stud's boxers when it comes to O Line coaching.

And that's a shame with all the talent and experience up front.

Not directed at you, but many of the rantards presently bitching about OL play wanted to oust an overqualified OL coach that developed one of the best OL in LSU history, and got their wish.
Hopefully it will come together with consistency at Center.

No, you're just only allowed to criticize the team when they lose. The oline was supposed to be the strength of the offense and it hasn't impressed me at all. Having that little push against ULM's dline was pretty disturbing.

In 3 games I give this oline a D+

5 vs. 8 or 9 who wins? The playing calling was the issue.

He made so many mistakes against wisky. What game were you watching. He will be a stud later on though.

Thank. You... Just because we don't get a push against a 9 man box doesn't mean the O-line sucks. Do you guys honestly think the O-line just started turning it on in the second half against whisky? No, we spread them out, and the O-line didn't have to block as longor as many people.

For an oline with returning starters.. It is disappointing. Perhaps it is the blocking scheme and play-calling. All I know is that we need to stop with the goal-line formation bullshite on our field.

miles may have realized that grimes is a wrong hire. no wonder he was more hands on with OL this camp.

The I formation, one receiver set is terrible, but even in mass protection, the guards are turnstiles and the blitzes get through because of it. They've been terrible so far.

Arkansas didn't have a problem with Texas Tech loading the box... It's just time to call a spade a spade... O-line has been garbage...

Didn't anyone tell you. Our offensive line is the best in the nation; yeah right. I know that the line was stacked against the run , and that you cannot account for everyone. The thing that troubles me is that people continue to run free against our pass protection. This problem persists and has for quite a long time. Either we are not coaching good enough, or our lineman and/or quarterbacks lack the savvy to make the proper protection calls. This has to be fixed.

Our offensive line can improve for sure, but you guys make it seem like they're terrible. We still have an upper level SEC line, do you guys watch some of these other teams?
