LSU’s offensive line rotation has been set for a while.
A lot of the talk surrounds [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] and [autotag]Emery Jones[/autotag] at the tackle spots, as well as veteran [autotag]Charles Turner[/autotag] holding down the center spot.
But perhaps the unit’s unsung hero has been left guard [autotag]Garrett Dellinger[/autotag], who has slid under the radar. That’s a good thing when you play along the offensive line.
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said that having the chance to train this offseason as opposed to last, when he was recovering from injury, has made a big impact.
“He’s been steady, but he’s been better than that,” Kelly said. “He was able to train this offseason, and that made a huge difference quite frankly. He’s stronger, and he’s on his feet. He was on the ground a little bit last year, this year he’s been really good.
“He’s been, I would say, better than steady. He’s been really, really good.”
LSU’s offensive line has played a major role in the offense’s overall success as a unit, and the Tigers will hope that continues as they face the toughest defensive front of the season to this point against Alabama on Saturday.
