If a football team had a weak unit one year and then brought back the entire group the following year, is that unit suddenly better?
That’s the question the LSU offensive line will have to answer as spring practice looms. The Tiger offensive line was the most bemoaned unit last season after the defense. LSU could only manage 3.3 yards a carry and the pass blocking wasn’t much better, allowing Myles Brennan, TJ Finley and Max Johnson to be sacked a combined 17 times, hit 34 times and pressured 86 times.
And yet there’s reason for optimism.
