So if the OL indeed played "well" against LSU, how do you explain them then going to shit for most of the rest of the season? It makes no sense that personnel new and poorly suited to this offense would have a good opening game against an aggressive, blitzing front, then regress dramatically when faced with only blocking three down linemen.

No, the OL was pretty bad game 1. Didn't matter given LSU's stubbornly persistent 0 man coverage and KJ's willingness to sling it combined with more than a little luck. That set of circumstances then obviously changed.
