Pass Protection and Your Tigers

You’ve seen it more times than you care to remember. Joe Burrow drops back and he gets sacked. Danny Etling drops back and he gets sacked. Brandon Harris drops back and he gets sacked. For a program that talks about taking care of the football and staying away from negative plays, the amount of sacks Tiger quarterbacks take is an eye sore.

LSU gets sacked a lot. For the past two years (2018, 2017) they’ve ranked in the 100s in sack rate allowed. The two prior seasons (2016, 2015) saw them place in the 50s but the year before that (2014) they were dreadful, finishing 117th.
