I know it's been mentioned in threads, but it needs a thread of its own
6 sacks against WKU and two against michigan...
Are there some injuries on the o-line for bama or something?

He's been holding the ball too long.
Driskel got sacked 8 times Saturday for Florida. I think maybe 2 or 3 could be legitimately blamed on the OL.
That's the thing most fans don't realize about sacks. It's not all on the OL. A RB might miss a blocking assignment (and they have young guys playing) a WR could run the wrong route, an OL could block the wrong guy, the QB could hold the ball too long, etc...
A lot goes into a sack.

Just saw that stat line and it jumped off the page.. I remember when lsu was supposed to have the best offensive line evaaaar in 2009, and gave up like 37 sacks or something ridiculous

I've been waiting to see a thread on the next Barry Sanders but I guess #4 didn't do much this game. I wonder why, the competition was much easier. All of this make those knee-jerk reactions from last week look comical.

You criticizing them for basing thoughts on one game, then you do the same thing. Solid

Bona,
Are there injuries on the o line? What's the deal?

No injuries, just haven't jelled with the new LT and the C playing a new position. Pass plays are also taking longer to develop this year, along with AJ holding it too long.

Didn't realize bama had a new LT
So a lot of switching around then?

Barrett Jones to center. Kouandjo to LT.

Ha, Driskel got sacked 8 times in 1 game. Tell McCarron to get his figgas up son

8 in one game and they still won. That is really amazing

Yes, Cyrus was hurt last year and is a first year starter at LT and Jones moved to C from LT.
I really wished Jones was allowed to play G for Steen, should have developed a C last year for this one.
They'll be OK eventually, the run blocking looks good while pass protection needs improvement. Opposite was true last year imo.
