Canada can certainly help a lot, but as someone who roots for a team that has had atrocious Oline woes for 5+ years, there is only so much that can be done.

You don't really realize how important the OLine is until you have an OL unit that is bad.

LSU oline will likely perform adequately, but if they don't, it will become the most annoying thing about a football team.

What LSU team have you been watching? The offensive line last season was rated as the consensus best offensive line in the country? It may not have been effective against Alabama last season, but that wasn't because the offensive line wasn't great, as it was due to the Less Mile's antiquated offense we were still forced to play last season even after Miles was thankfully fired.

Indeed, Alabama obviously knew the offense's plays coming before the ball was snapped. Give them that advantage and they will make any offensive line, no matter how great it is, look like crap.

However, those days are finally over, as Canada's offense is designed to keep defenses on their heels by keeping them guessing with tons and tons of motions and shifts and with misdirection. Thus, I'm holding out hope that we will be as successful as Ole Miss was on the offensive side of the ball when it played Alabama, but with a hell of a lot better defense.

It was average last season with Pocic. No Pocic and an injured Clapp = disappointment and not as good as we had all hoped.

Not many on here understand the concept of having to put the cart before the horse.

It all comes out in the wash this season and O finally makes a move after the season is over to upgrade the OL! Might have to suffer a few growing pains this year until it becomes all too apparent what has to be done................
