'Not only does LSU bring in more EPA per play with five or fewer pass-blockers compared to plays with six or more, but they are allowing a pressure rate that’s 6% less with five pass-blockers.' - PFF
Imagine how many more sacks that line would've given up if it hadn't been for five-man protections, and Joe's ability to scramble, escape and create soemthing out of nothing while under pressure.
Yep, that O-line was not good in pass protection which is why I think Burrow will do just fine here. We will need to go to more
five-man protections and run a lot more out of the Shotgun like Burrow did at LSU last year.
