re: The Honest Truth

To some degree I agree, but the OL was as "healthy" as it's been all season and got thoroughly dominated.
On the other side I think it's time to admit that the DL was overrated coming into the season. Believe me, I drank the kool aid. I was sure this group was going to be the best group (overall) since 2012. Unfortunately, Lawrence and Fehoko have proven to be good, but not consistent game-changing players. Alexander flashes occasionally, but not consistently and Shelvin can't even make the travel roster. Logan and the 2nd team guys are just average.
The loss of Chassion certainly hurts, but other than Divinity, occasionally, there is very little pass rush from the OLB's. The only time LSU seems to be assured of pressure is if they bring Delpit off the edge or White up the middle.
Florida definitely has players. Mullen is a good coach. But to watch Florida's running game physically kick LSU's arse again (just as they did in 2016) is troublesome.
The honest truth is that once the game starts O is basically useless on the sidelines. He can't suggest adjustments and is completely reliant on his coordinators in that dept. That's the deal we've made with O as the HC and it is what it is. But the DL is his unit and right now they're the weak link on defense. I truly didn't think that would be the case this season

I agree but why not put big Ed back and nose and Fehoko back at end? Its hard to use his quickness and pass rush skills when he's double teamed. Also why was Magee at left guard? He's never played there and there were some obvious blown assignments. He should have moved to right tackle and Hines at left guard. Shelvin needs to step up. This team needs him
