Does anyone else think that it will be better than 2011's?

Faulk 6'6 325
Blackwell 6'4 290
Lonergan 6'4 305
Williford 6'7 324 / T-bob 6'3 304
Hurst 6'6 340

vs.

Faulk 6'6 323
Williford 6'7 332 / Turner 6'3 306
Porter 6'4 300
Collins 6'5 321
Alexander 6'6 350

backups

Fehoka 6'6 360
Davenport 6'4 330
Austin 6'6 329
Edinbourgh 6'8 316
Evan Washington 6'6 324

I think this will be one of the strongest olines that i've ever seen at lsu. Championships are won in the trenches.

The fact that the backups got plenty of reps will help us tremendously for the next 2 years. I actually think the younger kids did a fantastic job, as inconsistent as they were.

Yes because Turner, Alexander and Collins are better than T-Bob, Hurst and Blackwell. Williford becomes the utility lineman. I think Boutte gets in the mix as well.

Agree. Turner and Alexander stepped up huge for LSU. They are a big part of LSU's improved passing game.

Next year's line would unquestionably be better if Faulk comes back 100%.

if he rehabs well and has a good spring, it could be 110%

Vandal Alexander needs to learn how to pass protect, or be switched to guard. He gets dominated by every defensive end we play. He is an animal in the running game though.

I just think he needs another offseason. He was a early enrollee and greatly benefitted from Spring practice and workouts. A little more quickness and agility and he will be the complete right tackle.

And he was an upgrade from Hurst.

Don't forget about Jerald Hawkins, 6-6, 300 lbs. Could be in the two-deep at one of the tackle spots. Coaches seem to be high on him.

Also, Pocic is an early enrollee and might be good enough to work his way into the two-deep as well.

The only real concern is Porter replacing Lonergan who can be argued as our most reliable OL. Every other position gains another year of experience and Alexander seems to be an upgrade over Hurst who was second team All-American. If everyone stays healthy, this may be a top 3 offensive line in the country.
