We knew going into the season the OL would be questionable and the hinge of the season. Our starters are fine but rarely does a starting Line remain intact for a full season. We haven't had the same starting line for 2 games!
Going into the season my biggest fear was suffering banged up players. By the time Bama rolls around each year were playing reserves.
Second and third string depth in the SEC is what separates this conference from others. We're counting on these backups.

Yup.

That's where Cregg really earns his stripes.

On Monday film, a HC asks himself did my OL coach get enough out of my patchwork OL to win a SEC game? And can he do it again?

If he thinks yes, he earned a raise.

It's easy to get studs to play like they can. Can you get 5 guys to play better, together, than the weakest link is the question.

You can not have anyone saying "I'm the guy who does my job, you must be the other guy". When that happens, you're working with "5 offensive linemen", and not "an offensive line".

Not for two games in a row, nor for a whole game at all. LSU has won each game with a different starting OL by the time the game ended.

I mean you can't argue with the results. But it's scary as all get out.
