I have not watched LSU's play in the trenches, but don't you start a DE who is like 6'6'', 230 in Key? I know he is in on passing situations but is he your every down starting DE?
I wouldn't necessarily use size as a reason LSU will struggle to stop the run. For comparison (and I realize there are other variables), in 2011 LSU held a very good Alabama running game and with a very good offensive line to 96 yards rushing. LSU started 235 pound Mingo and 240 pound Montgomery at defensive end. Michael Brockers and Bennie Logan were the starting DTs, and they weighed 305 and 285 respectively.

I mean if I was going to attack LSU, I would start at the smaller DEs you have. That is who I would run at first, and see the reaction. I'm not saying it will work great, but that is absolutely where I would start. It isn't like you have 2 guys who are 265 at the DE spot like some other teams.
That is part of LSU's makeup to have smaller faster guys at DE who can get to the passer
