LSU is running the ball really well and their pass protection has improved. It's important to keep that group together for next season. Don't declare for the draft pls

Negatigers will bitch because we didn’t launch it 40 yards every play.

Negatigers also have no idea what water does to surfaces

Grimes is considered one of the best oline coaches in the country for a reason.

Miles never could have never made the improvement we see this year.


These Tigers are playing inspired football.

Oline could be special next year if weathersby and clapp come back.

I hope the entire o-line stays. Getting clapp, brumfield and weathersby to stay would be huge.

LSU even stuck it to Alabama on the ground in Tuscaloosa. They could really do some big things next season at home.

They looked worse today than the past couple of games, but it wasn't bad.

But that's impossible! Every know-nothing imbecile on here wants him fired because they have to blame somebody for every hiccup.

Hopefully O does a good job talking sense into these kids to stay another year before declaring and not getting drafted

Credit to to Orgeron and (gasp) Grimes for that. The improvement that this team made throughout the season has been remarkable.

They have. Not enough for my taste, but no denying it.

Most of the fundamental mistakes have been cut down drastically. Charles is a pleasant surprise at OT. He was more of a liability for Clapp earlier. I'm guessing the move forced him to "grow up", probably focus and play every play with his head in gear.

That move also got Ingram more reps, who was performing at OG much better anyway. So it was a double-bonus that will also pay dividends over the next 2-3 season since they are both getting a butt load of experience.

Being forced into those moves also forced them to "gel". There was no more trying out this player here or that player there (mainly the aforementioned Charles & Ingram).
