Most people on here will not understand the significance of that. They will not understand that time on the field and time playing together gives the players the experience they need to get blocking assignments right. They won't understand that if the NT lines up to the left of the C, blocking assignments can be different than if he is to the right of the C. That's just a minute example of the complexities of blocking assignments and how they can change a split second before the snap of the ball. And that bama team that played Clemson was not the same team that played against LSU. Not mentally and not physically, only the same by name. If the team that played LSU had played Clemson, Saban would have his 7th NC.

Last season LSU had 3 true freshmen play significant minutes on the Oline. This season there were 3 first year players playing significant minutes on the Oline. With the majority of their Oline starters coming back next season, LSU should have a much improved Oline from jump.

The Bama team that played most of the first half looked like the same team that played us. We gave up 16. Clemson gave up 16. the difference was that Clemson's offense introduced a completely different ebb-n-flow to the game. And our offense scored zErO as in nOnE. And this was the worst Bama D in a decade.

But beyond Clemson, other teams with lesser OLs, and lesser talent on offense still have success vs Bama. Take OM in '15. They had one OL that would likely have seen the field for us this year (Tunsil) and he was suspended for the Bama game. They scored 43 on Bama.

Our offense and E as OC are indefensible.

And Clemson has been running the same type of offense for years at that schools with different variations. The offensive players in that system know the offense front and back. The coaches at Clemson has had time to figure out what works and what doesn't work within their offense as well. They have confidence in what works and what doesn't.

That all has a significant impact on a teams ability to execute the plays called. LSU is in its first year of changing everything within the offense and we went 10-3. Give our offense the same time that Clemson has had and you will see the same type of execution. How did Clemson perform last year with the same coaches but different players who couldn't execute that offense in the same way they can this year? It wasn't close to the level it is this year.

Every year y'all want to change the offense or something within it. That hurts the team. Our coaches have shown that when the offense is clicking and the players are executing, that it can be a powerful offense. Look at the GA game and the UCF game. It's inconsistent because it's all new with new players. Give it time people.
