LSU’s offense had its share of personnel challenges in 2018, but there’s no question that the biggest one was the offensive line. The Tiger front struggled to get push in big rushing spots, which showed up in short-yardage situations and late in games when trying to bleed the clock. On top of that, they allowed the most negative plays of any LSU front since the 2009 group.
It was an inauspicious debut for new offensive line coach James Cregg, who came to town with a pretty solid rep from Ed Orgeron’s stint at USC and from time in the NFL.
