The Ugly: The offensive line
U-G-L-Y. This offensive line doesn’t have an alibi, it was ugly in the first two games. Especially against the McNeese Cowboys.
The offensive line, more specifically Charles Turner surrendered the most pressures for the second-straight week. After giving up 12 pressures against UCLA, the Tigers gave up another 11 pressures. With quarterbacks not having any time to throw and no running game, it makes it increasingly difficult on the quarterbacks.
As ugly as the offensive line was, the inability to convert on third downs stood out. The team converted just four of 16 attempts. On the opening drive, the team was zero for two, needing two fourth-down conversions to score. While they were able to convert against McNeese, the schedule gets that much more difficult in two weeks.
LSU did win the game but it sure felt much worse with how the offense looked on the field. There are more questions that need answers against Central Michigan this Saturday.
