    O-line and D-line control. That's what occurred in the 2nd half tonight. You can have all the spectacular players you want, but you get control of that line of scrimmage.

    Offensive line played flawlessly in the 2nd half.

    Winning the battle of the trenches is what provided the victory tonight.

    The D Line depth is sick, too. That's why they were so fresh late, and could dominate (ala Alem) late against AUs OL.

    LSU's D-line got ALL the love in tonight's game on national television.

    Announcers kept raving about how we go 8 deep. I heard someone say the backups, as a unit, could be starting for most teams in college football.

    That's strong.
