Young and weak still, and we have a tackle playing Center

The OL isn't very bad. They just aren't great. They are mediocre. They aren't tough enough. They lack mental toughness and mental discipline. Miles doesn't instill a lot of fear or toughness. He's laid back. That's great for someone you want to hang out with, but it doesn't work well for high level competition. The players need more intensity, more fortitude, and more grit.

Can someone tell me why Harris has regressed so badly?

I think it's more of a confidence issue.

We tried this against Arky. We spread it out and tried running it and we weren't near as effective.
If LSU doesn't break a big play it is difficult for LSU to sustain long drives with Harris' inability to make plays on third down. So one good defensive play, or poor execution by a single offensive player, was enough to stop most LSU drives.

quote:Let's be objective here; Harris is a true soph, starting his first year, with no true go-to guy (wanted it to be Dupre, Dural was more experienced, both were sloppy at times). 7-0 start, you relied on the run to soften up the defense. Even against Florida and So Carolina (played one of their better games against us), Fournette commanded the defense to completely change to contain him. And still, Harris wasn't much more than "good enough to win" in those games. Showed flashes, but no real command.

Bama game- they stopped the run without skewing the defense. Harris made a couple of plays, but wasn't ready to shoulder the load. The INT to start the 2nd half showed that Les had been hiding the guy a little, not wanting to expose him too much, as he wasn't there yet.
Arky game; couple of things. Letdown from Bama I believe, plus the loss of the left tackle early. Harris was running for his life out there. no depth on the line.
Ole Miss game; a shining example of the mistaken "we have more talent" issue. Sure, overall we do, but we don't have anyone to handle a couple of their guys, like the 3 sure 1st rd picks. Nkemdiche destroyed the line and it wasn't close.
A&M game- like someone said, it could have been 30-7. And still, they have a DE that was wiping out our pass blocking.

9 in the box plus vanilla play calling makes it pretty tough on the best OLs.
And no, loss of FB and TE has absolutely nothing to do with the line getting blown off the ball. How do all these other teams run effectively without FBs and TEs with 4 wide sets?
