Gotta go with the O-line, as boring as that sounds. If they can't open up holes or protect Boeckman we're in for a long night. Boeckman's protection to date has been phenomenal, to the point that we as fans have been spoiled. After watching Illinois' line fold faster than Superman on laundry day, I hope the guys up front can play lights out. Neither side of the line of scrimmage has faced the talent their going to see in the NC game, so it should be a hell of a battle.
LSU fans don't seem to think of their O-line as a team strength, so if Big Vern & Co. can harass Flynn/Perrilloux while our O-line holds off Dorsey, we will be money. My worst fear is our D-line over pursuing on draw plays where their QB's gash us for yards. Actually, my absolute worst fear is if Les Miles uses Trindon Holliday exclusively as we've had a penchant for not being able to stop small shifty backs (Garrett Wolfe, Eugene Jarvis had more success against us than we would have liked). I don't know how shifty Holliday is, or if he can take hits, but he has ridiculous speed that those other two guys I mentioned do not have.
