This is not unique to LSU. Bama runs similar scheme. They also are seeing the personnel issues due to draft and injury. Before the LSU-Bama game there was a story on Bama’s D and whether they would be able to get to Burrow. Turns out that >80% of their sacks this yr are by LBs and DBs. Their DL only have 2-3 sacks this year.

Just stated similar in my post. We just don't have the guys. I've been saying this for years that we've neglected the DL and I just Do Not Get It. Ed O IS a DL guy so it makes no sense why it's yearly the worst position on defense. When he was coaching DL in 2016 it was great, and it has just gotten weaker since then. Stop letting inferior guys coach the DL and go out there and get a real too quality DL coach like you did with Brady.

I want Sean Spencer from Penn St. He's been with Penn St since 2014 and from 2015-2019 they've been top 14 in sacks and in 4 of those 5 years, they've been top 10. The vast majority (and I mean almost all), of their sacks come from the DL). He had a star in Carl Nassib, and has another now in Yetur Gross-Matos. Yeah I know they run a 4-3, but I think that could also get Aranda back into running more of that and getting leaner and more disruptive on the line.
