re: "The 2012 LSU team will be better than the 2011 team"

Mett didnt pan out as expected
TM7 got kicked off the team
More than half of the starting O-Line got injured
Didnt realize how much we would miss Rueben Randle
Drew Alleman has gone from one of the best FG kickers in the SEC to one of the worst


Overall our defense, I would say, is about the same (better Linebacker play, worse secondary play, D-line is the same)

Our Offense is honestly about the same except we don't convert in the redzone and more turnovers\penalties than usual.

Special teams is worse because we dont have tm7 and ron brooks out there gunnin people down not allowing punt returns and Drew alleman isn't making the field goals he should be making. Brad Wing is still Brad Wing.
