re: What can LSU do to keep our O line from being exposed at Bama?

I know this sounds crazy but our Oline has been bad all season in pass protection so I think it'll actually help Etling for the Bama game hear me out. He's been under instant pressure all season so he's used to this and it won't be a shock for him to be running for his life and the Bama pass rush will just be another game for Etling and that's going to play in our favor.
I have in my head we're going to have to be risk takers, especially on 1st down.
If we're going to ever commit to saying frick it and putting as many people in routes as possible, this is the game.
Here's the only catch, Etling does suck at identifying routes an anticipating. He's going to have to be coached to throw to spots, and WRs are just going to have to do their job.
We aren't going out control the LoS. So let's commit to dominating the ground outside the box.
Single back sets, 1/3 of the time in for extra protection. Shotgun.
Do not care about HUNH or Spread. In fact spread would be a bad idea. Our OL can barely handle their splits now and that extra distance ain't going to change shite as far as time to QB.
We have a distinct advantage in size with our WRs (especially Sullivan and Stevens- yes, Stevens a WR for this game) vs their DBs. Saban uses his DBs masterfully, they are all over the place, blitzing, baiting, run support. Let's decide that for him and dictate that he doesn't have them as an option.
In a DL/LB vs 5 OL we're going to lose the battle most of the time. So lets take away his best weapon on D.
