Is LSU’s O-Line Ready for Bama?

During the seven straight regular season losses, it seems like the common denominator for LSU losing to Bama, according to the fan base, is its offensive line.
“Fournette didn’t suck against Bama, he just doesn’t have an offensive line to block for him.”
“Burrow would have been more effective if he had time to throw the ball.”
So I’m asking you, Tiger fans, will LSU’s offensive line be the group to blame if LSU loses in Tuscaloosa this year?

They were ready for Auburn’s

Yes
UA front seven is like Tua’s ankles, weak AF.

They did ok vs Auburn. Bama isn’t as good but it’ll be loud. I think they’ll be able to protect Burrow ok but I worry about pre snap penalties and making holes for Clyde.

This DLine isn’t as good as years past
And we are going to be keeping them in their toes.
Playing LSU in 2015 you basically play every play like a run and 80% of the time you were right.

Yes. Auburn proved that. Next.

It had more to do with scheme than anything, although last year was musical chairs with the Oline. I think we will be able to rack up some yards on the ground against Bama, just like with Auburn and Florida, because we are a legit balanced offense now.
We are a pick your poison offense for the first time in a very long time, and the Oline is vastly improved because of it. Makes their jobs easier.

Yep
Auburn’s DLine is MUCH better then bamas
Bama does have some really good outside backers though

We dominated on OL and DL in 2017

FIFY
The Oline was never THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE was that we ran a very predictable, shitty offensive scheme from 1885. That type of offense can work IF you have a very dominant Oline. We did not have a dominant Oline we had a serviceable Oline but instead of scheming to their strengths, we did the exact opposite.

eh, LSU had no passing game, stack the line, stop the run, force LSU to pass, easy strategy for Saban. It was more abt Les refusing to adapt than our OL. Maybe over-simplified, but more or less...
Things are different now.

They need to be ready. The game they played against UF is what we need
Posted on 10/29/19 at 8:18 am to El Campo Tiger
I think their defense is close to Auburn's but not quite as good - so we should be able to move the ball against them on the ground. Just gotta keep their offense from taking quick slants to the house. Should be a great game!

WHOA WHOA WHOA
slow down
you could have had all americans 5 across and it MAY not have mattered when less smiles ran into the teeth against stacked boxed over and over and over. The play calling was shite. the line may not have been as good as we liked but miles handicapped the whole offense with playing in a phone booth and not using whole field. predictable.
we had a good line in 2012. you can argue it got weaker after that. but again miles did them no favors.

I think O line is going to prepare for alabama's d line knowing this will be their toughest game. We have enough to dominate them and have that explosion. Just have to go out and do it.

Bama has dominated LSU on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Certainly did last year.

The fact you have to ask that after this past weekend is astonishing

I don't know about assigning blame to anyone, but I do believe the O/L holds the key to a win over Bama. Nothing complex here.....if the O/L can give Joe the time, and given our stable of great receivers, LSU will move the chains. Also, I'm expecting another great game from CEH. IMO he will play a big part in protecting Joe. One tuff guy this CEH.
I'm thinking the first half will be a defensive slugfest....like maybe a 7 - 7 tie (yep I believe the defense will ball). Then the LSU coaching staff makes changes at halftime. Then on the heels of some amazing catches by our receivers (AND tight end) LSU pulls away late in the fourth quarter. Got to make those third and long situations....and avoid red zone fails. But those guys on the O/L have to win the battle in the trenches, create gaps in the D/L for CEH to exploit.
LSUNation wants this one........but not as much as this Tigah football team.

Bama doesn't have anybody close to what Quinnen Williams did to interior line last year, that's where the game was lost. This year, the best dl/edge guy is Terrell Lewis. I'd just make sure Thad Moss is lined up wherever he is to confirm chip to give the tackle some help.

Okay cool now I’m ready to go all in emotionally.
