BE ATEN DOWN LSU’s offense sputters against Tide, Tigers shut out at home for first time since 2002 BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ LSU’s offensive line simply struggled in the Tigers’ 10-0 loss to No. 1 Alabama. Leading up to LSU’s matchup against the Tide, coach Ed Orgeron stressed the importance of protecting junior quarterback Danny Etling. But it didn’t take long for Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen to become acquainted with Etling, after sacking him on the Tigers’ eighth play of the game. In fact, Alabama’s defensive line sacked Etling three times in the first quarter alone. “We struggled,” Orgeron said about the offensive line. “We struggled tonight. Obviously, we struggled to run the ball. We struggled to pass protect. We struggled.” LSU’s offense had tough sledding against the Tide. The Tigers were shut out at home for the first time since 2002, also against Alabama. In the first half — which ended with both teams scoreless — LSU gained just 100 yards. The Tigers had a mere 25 yards in the second half. Etling had issues finding open receivers. When Etling dropped back to pass, there was an Alabama defensive lineman in his face. Alabama’s front seven made its presence known.
