Mett - SR
Landry - Soph
OBJ - Soph
Hill -FR
Ware/Ford/Hilliard

Mingo - JR
Montgomery - JR
Reid - JR
Logan - JR
A. Johnson - Soph
E. Ferguson - Soph
Minter - JR
Simon - JR

Serious NFL talent, and they were not freshmen - except for Hill. The team struggled all year and scored 6 points at Florida. Never should have lost to Alabama.

Finished 10-3

We talk about 2013, but 2012 was talented on both sides with NFL players.

Just can't put it together.

That team could never consistently put it together offensively. The offensive line really struggled at Florida but still had a change to win down the stretch. Beckham's fumble after that long reception late in the game was a killer. They should have beaten Alabama but the play calling was entirely too conservative at the end of the second to last offensive series. Should have gone for the kill shot first down with Mett throwing the ball instead of that stupid Ware cat. The bowl game against Clemson had multiple frick ups at the end both offensively & defensively.

Mett was a Jr., but point taken.

All that NFL talent, and we have a never used sophomore running back attempting a jump pass inside the five yd line instead of letting the talent try to do their thing.

We would have beat Florida 6-0 if Minter hadn't gotten hurt.

Florida literally only moved the ball while Minter was out.

It was very similar to how Alabama scored their lone touchdown in regulation when Beckwith went down this year.

Honestly....let's be fair. That team missed a national championship by 1:19. If we keep Bama out of the endzone that team rolls Notre Dame. Shows how fine the difference can be in college football.

to be fair

Odell "Greatest Catch of All Time" Beckham had the dropsies in 2012

and 2012 Mett wouldn't have made an NFL roster.
