A shift in power on the offensive side of the football has begun, and it’s not at the quarterback position, or on the field at all.
A coaching change has made some waves in the LSU football program, but it’s still business as usual. Former offensive line coach Greg Studrawa is replacing former offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in early August and will take over as the quarterback coach. Steve Ensminger will take over as offensive line coach, but Studrawa will retain his relationship with the offensive line. This coaching shake-up has not phased the offensive linemen, who still turn to Studrawa, as well as Ensminger.
“[Studrawa] is the same way he’s always been,” said junior center P.J. Lonergan. “He’s actually putting a little more pressure on us, now that he’s O.C. He wants us to be more on top of our communicate.”
LSU coach Les Miles said he feels his offensive line has the tools to help LSU put points on the board and win games.
“The offensive line is the most experienced position on the field,” Miles said. “We have four or five that will have played a lot of good.”
