Am I alone in believing that LSU's offensive line could be the team's Achilles' tendon, once SEC play begins?

Not only is the line smallish, averaging only 310 pds. as opposed to Florida and Georgia ave. about 330, there just doesn't seem to be that much depth up front.

Of course you’re not alone, what is this nonsense.

We can’t afford injuries, numbers have been a problem since last offseason’s attrition.

Transfers will help. New offensive line coach is pretty good from what I understand. I think we should be in a lot better shape than last year here. In fact adding Burrow......almost every position group is stronger in my opinion

Need Brumfield moved to Center.

If he can’t deliver POWER at that position, we need to move someone else there.

Need to be strong up the middle..... guards will be fine.

I thought Charles and Ingram played pretty well last year as freshman in addition to getting valuable PT. Brumfield is a solid vet with a lot of experience. McGee looked ok when he got some reps. DeCulus looked like a true freshman when he played. The only thing I’m concerned about with the line is who will be the center. We’ve heard about Cush and how hard of a worker he is but he didn’t look great in the spring game. Cole Smith was a good recruit but he’s probably too young. Is it Damien Lewis or is he more of a guard?

Only way you can beat Georgia or Alabama is to have big powerful linemen !!!!!!!

Thank goodness for all the LSU football experts on tRant. Otherwise, I'd be completely in the dark.

Didn’t O mention Lewis as being in the mix at center? I thought I heard him talk about that during spring ball as a way to get Lewis on the field because the coaches were so impressed with him

As long as the tendon doesn't rupture we will be fine.

Yes, you are alone in this.
Burrow running the RPO can make any OL shortcomings less critical, and this defense seriously could be good for 10 points a game on their own.

This team is gonna wreck shite.
