Well it finally happened.
After mostly covering up the issue, LSU has been exposed for entering the season without a plan on the interior of the defensive line. The offense was a disaster, but the story of the game was the mismatch in the trenches that allowed Alabama to bully their way to 311 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.
With the abundance of NFL talent available at the DT position this past offseason, LSU’s current situation, which has now arguably cost them two games in a row, is a grim referendum on LSU’s ability to compete with its supposed peers in the stacking of talent.
