I don’t know how to quantify the best when it comes to O-line play, but I’d say they were among the best. I think it helped a great deal when defenses were rushing three in hopes of trying to stop our receivers though, but that was as we can see not a very good srategy to handle that offense, as it gave Joe plenty of time to pick them apart.

I'm just going to throw in all the stats I can find from SECstatcat

Of Passers W/ At Least 140 Attempts

Joe Burrow SEC Ranks
- Sack Rate (Sacks/Dropbacks) - 10th out of 16
- Average Time to Throw - 3rd out of 16
- Average # of Blockers (Most to Least) - 16th out of 16

Of Rushers W/ At Least 125 Attempts

CEH SEC Ranks
- Rush Yards Before Contact : 3rd out of 13
- Negative Rush % of Total Rushes : 5th out of 13

The passing stat tells me that LSU went 5 OL blocking without any help a LOT and that Joe was given a pretty solid pocket all things considered. The sack rate seems to say that Joe waited until the last minute a lot to find the perfect throw, and that he ran quite a bit and probably got drug down right at the LOS.

The running numbers tell me that LSU had a solid run line.
