I don't know why everyone was saying 2012 was our year.


Most people were thinking that Mettenberger was going to be the starter for the 2nd half of the season in 2011. Even before Shady-gate, people were thinking that he would at least get a lot of drives in key games.

In that sense, it was expected that Mett would already be "broken in" before the 2012 season, in which case the super sophomores of 2011 would be there to help him out as juniors before declaring early.

Even with losing Faulk & Mathieu, LSU came within a breath of beating Bama and making it to the SECCG with the NC in sight. It just didn't happen.

2011 was supposed to be Bama's year because of their stacked defense, and I although I haven't followed CFB too closely this year, I still think Bama '11 >> Bama '12.
