A worrisome moment for the LSU offensive line came late in the first half last month at Florida.
With the two starting tackles already sidelined by injuries earlier in the game, junior center Will Clapp limped off the field, leaving the Tigers with four freshmen on the five-man offensive line.
That moment was short-lived.
Not only did Clapp return after one missed play, but two of those four freshmen emerged as LSU stalwarts, giving the Tigers a chance to enter 2018 with something it didn't have in the weeks leading to the 2017 season -- experience.
