I'm guessing they prefer to keep his run blocking in the game.

His pass blocking needs some major work, to put it lightly, and they probably hoped it would improve as he got more live reps.

I want you to picture in your mind Coach Saban during his time at LSU - and I want you to hear him tell you.

this isnt high school ...you have absolutely lost your mind if you think hes starting because of anything to do with something besides football. the coach has to win or hes not the coach anymore.

Borderline is a good run blocker. Needs to work on his pass blocking. Have to give players a chance to develop but probably has a short leash this weekend

Bordelon is a borderline good run blocker. But I don't remember seeing someone tossed around like a rag doll to the extent that 52 did on him.

I’ll let Lane call that.

I honestly don’t think Bollinger cash is influencing the lineup. Not gonna dog pile Ben……even though on other fronts he absolutely plays fund-intimidation (cough Newman).

If he remotely repeats that performance, change immediately

The implication is not valid. The fact that one human can beat up another is never pertinent to a logical argument.

I think a lot of people were pulling for the kid. He's a legacy and toughed it out for 5 years. I also think people saw him like they saw Will Clapp, another legacy lineman that was actually very good. Maybe he is the best option, coaches usually go with what they see in practice, but it's hard to imagine Lane seeing his performance with Devon Harper available and not intevening.

This is NIL era football where LSU and all schools are buying players left and right. That money has to come from somewhere and nothing on tape can justify him continuing to start other than that.

Harper was starting for Ole Miss and playing well last year. This isn’t some unknown player from a lower conference and different system.

I mean he would be easy to get around and dodge if he tried to do anything to me, so why would I be afraid to tell him to his face.

What do you think he'd do?

Take a swing (prolly wiff like his blocking) get kicked off the team, spend some time in jail and have to pay some nice bucks (out of daddies pocket) drag LSU into a law suit as well?

He wouldn't do shite because. If he's worth his salt, he knows he had a bad game and needs to be better or be replaced.

STRAW MAN much.
