If we don’t have a better offensive line to block it doesn’t matter who the quarterback is .

I'm wondering why so many other teams have equal or lesser talent and didn't have the issues we had. Not bashing by the way.


If I truly want to be negative, I can point to the LSU offense, defense, and special teams. What took Orgeron so long to find a punt returner? Ensminger should have adapted quicker to LSU's online providing little time to throw, it took him several games to realize Burrow had only 4 seconds if that to pass the ball. And Steve's two-week preparation for Alabama absolutely sucks. Aranda gave away the Fla and Aggy games with his damn rush three drop back 8 prevent defense. Not bashing in any way, those are my gripes.

Ok,

So while you’re going through revisionist history of Aranda giving away a game we scored 19 points in,

How many minutes were left when Florida took the lead and how many times did we have the ball only needing to score 3 points with one of the beat kickers in the country?

I don't find that to be a negative post at all. I think you bring up some valid points and concerns. No one is perfect and it would have been nice for the defense to get a couple more stops to help the offense out and get those wins.

One would think Fla was this offensive juggernaut the way they ran on LSU's defense. When you score 19 points against Fla's great defense, you should win.

I think that's a perfect example of what a really good offensive mind can do with lesser talent on the field.

Florida game was on both offense and defense.

Offense had a chance to win it but blew it. But the defense made their QB look far better than he is.

So you looked up the answer to my questions realized the offense had multiple chances to score 3 points and just decided to change the narrative to: 19 points is enough for a whole game.

And here we are: still at a point where we need to the defense to not just be good but amazing to win a game.

Yep yep. Both sides made mistakes and both sides had multiple opportunities to win that game.

We have a worse offensive ranking than miss, South Carolina, Missouri, and Vandy. You don’t think those teams have OL limitations just as bad or worse than LSU?

Lots of teams in college football have OL problems that are just as bad if not worse than LSU. They find ways to cover up whatever limitations they have and still produce a respectable offense. Why can’t LSU? Didn’t we fire a past coach at least partially because he O was limiting team performance? Three years later we have a worst offense then we had before.

If you think you can’t have a productive offense without having all Americans dot your OL, then you are as naïve as a Ben

Part of the problem was RBs who shouldn't be starting for an SEC team. That will be fixed next year.

I don’t know why anyone is talking about this. It’s not happening. Not even a chance. He hasn’t even thought about LSU. There’s zero percent chance he’s coming here. Too much competition here sitting and waiting. Burrow next year and will have another freshman to compete with next year along with incumbent red shirting this past year.

That's an interesting opinion. They've been to two consecutive SEC championship games, and won the SEC championship in one of those seasons. He took Bama to the brink in the national championship game, and he's a terrible coach?



Except he boneheaded the game agai st Bama both fricking times.


Ooooooo!!!! He was in the SEC championship twice!!!!!

Big fricking deal when you are in the east. Missouri was in it twice. Let that sink in. Yeah, he beat a broken down Auburn team in one of them. A team who had already kicked the shite out of them. History shows that rematch games in college football do not fair well for the winner of the first game.

He also has the only team who has just as many if not more standout players on both sides of the ball than Saban.

I’ll say this and I’m in no way an Orgeron damnit give me the choice between Orgeron and Smart, I’m taking Orgeron. Kirby Smart is a dumbass.

You don’t need all Americans on the line to have a good offense. Teams do it all the damn time.

Ben is extremely on target in pointing out that LSU's Oline was LSU's greatest hindrance on offense in 2018. We can all debate why it's been such a hindrance, but there's no debating the fact, it's clearly been the biggest problem for LSU.



Except as a unit they are rated higher than what most colleges have and yet most colleges don’t have the offensive woes that LSU has.

Maybe they are not being coached in technique properly.

There really is no excuse for it to be as bad as it is.

Vandy has a better offense than we did. Do you honestly believe Vandy has better O linemen?

Uh, three seasons ago when Orgeron took over and put Ensminger as OC, he had Leonard Fournette and Guice in the backfield. Still couldn’t score on Bama.

Scored a lot against everyone else down the stretch, except Florida. There was nothing wrong with that offense.

“ name the all Americans along the offense of line “

So, now we can’t have a respectable SEC offense unless we have a number of all Americans on our OL??? Are you for real.

“ shut the frick up”

Another sure sign of someone is loosing emotional control because their argument is collapsing about them.



Not saying that you need all Americans. LSU has 2 tackles that would be better suited to be guards playing tackle because they lack depth at the position. My frustration comes in with the morons on this board that have to know this to be true but refuse to admit it. Anyone that can't see that this is the truth is a moron. They'd rather slam the coaches than admit the truth. LSU also lacked depth at tight end.

The offense begins and ends with the offensive line and yes I get frustrated with the same argument day after day after day. Everyone should be excited about the coaches killing it on the recruiting trail but we're having this retarded argument again. It would kill some of you to admit the truth. You'd rather argue for 30 pages on the rant. That's why they call it the rant I suppose because it's full of morons like the ones in this thread.

You're the only one bringing up the same argument. Furthermore, I don't think anyone isn't excited with the recruiting class we currently have.



Fans are voicing legitimate criticisms because the OL hasn't looked the best this past year. You just said that yourself.

Who's responsible for that? The fans?

I have no idea why you lash out at anyone who has a different opinion than you. It's not like, "ok, we agree to disagree."

You express your feelings with so much hate and anger. That'll make people take you seriously.
