This time last year I asked one simple question in regards to LSU’s 2021 offensive line: if you bring back the entirety of a bad group from the year before, will they magically get better?
Turns out the answer was no but there was room for some optimism.
If the 2021 group was better than the 2020 offensive line it wasn’t by much but it certainly had its fair share of adversity: Dare Rosenthal was supposed to be the starting left tackle but transferred toward the end of June to Kentucky after one violation of team rules too many; if that wasn’t enough, offensive line coach James Cregg was fired by LSU for cause after admitting to visiting and giving gear to a prospect during a recruiting dead period.
