PFF is a crock of shite sometimes for NCAA stuff, been calling them out quite a few times for their ratings/rankings. There isn't a planet out there that would accept our OL being the best in CFB by any margin.

I got lambasted for saying our o-line is the furthest thing from the problem. They actually held up better than any other team this year against Bama. It is our offensive scheming that is asinine against Bama that causes problems.

I wouldn't put us number 1, or probably not even top 5, but the Oline at LSU is not nearly as pathetic as the fans seem to think it is.

"1. LSU Tigers (88.74 rating, on a 0-100 scale)
While the season has been disappointing as a whole for LSU, the offensive line has done its part. When adjusting for competition, the Tigers’ game against Alabama was not bad comparatively, as the Alabama defense has given up virtually nothing to opposing teams on the ground, while creating pressure at an incredibly high rate. The interior of the line is what sets LSU apart, starting with Ethan Pocic, who ranks fifth among centers at 84.2 overall, while guard Josh Boutte has the nation’s No. 6 grade at 84.8 overall, including an 87.1 grade as a run-blocker that ranks third. The other guard spot is manned by Will Clapp, who checks in with a strong 78.4 grade, highlighted with an 86.4 mark in pass protection."

The oline may be good. Bama's front 7 is great. May be rated 92+. I doubt Bama's oline could move their dline.

There's a reason that no matter what RB we put behind them, we have had success. Everybody wants to praise LF when he puts up 200+, yet criticize the O line when he runs for 35. Our O-line is legit. Bama has the best front 7 in college football. We will get back to running the ball with great success the last three games.

The list flawed

Don't give a damn about analytics. I watched our OL get blown up by bama and Wisconsin all game

that formula is shite

No way

No mention of left tackle position. I wonder why?

Normally pro football focus knows their shite but they're so wrong right here it's silly. We don't have a top 20 oline. I've also seen pro football focus call Sam Bradford a top 3 nfl qb earlier this year so I guess they're just having a bad season.

That article was one of the All-Time complete and total BS pieces of sports journalism I've ever read!
LSU OL is not even the best in the SEC/SEC West/Louisiana or SE Louisiana.
