Things Couldn't Be Going Much Better

All it did was make Burrow throw the ball quicker.  That was the cause for most of the pressure.

It also limits the blitz package. If as you suggest defenses more blitzers than blockers that means the defense is in cover zero and a quick slant can easily go to the house. Cover zero vs 5 wide rarely happens. 

Also 1/5th of Burrow's passing attempts were RPO another quick passing game. That puts into question your point of Burrow always holding the ball to long. In reality the LSU blocking stats were average at best. You can cling to the award but you have zero statistical evidence to back up your claim.
