This is why LSU is one of the worst coaching destinations in all of football.

    Blame who you want... You don't win in the SEC with 11 scholarship OL, four of them freshmen.

    Which begs some questions:
    1. How and why did we lose nearly 1/3 of our OL to attrition before the season?
    2. Are they getting objectively better or worse from week to week?
    3. Anyone meet up with Weathersby at that MMA gym on Perkins?

    Well, I saw Weathersby get beat a bunch by players from Troy. One caused a sack. So I'm thinking there are quite a few people who take him to the woodshed in the ring too.

    You recruit three 4-star linemen, usually one is good, one is ok, and one doesn't pan out. Despite the star-power of the linemen LSU has, I think several are the latter.

    I had a desire to slap Joe Aleva throughout.

    You still beat Troy. Depth and youth is an excuse when you lose to Alabama or Florida. Not Troy.

    Troy lost to #2 at the time Clemson by 6 last year. Georgia Southern beat UF in 2013. It happens.
