As prompted by the other thread Maybe its just the feeling I get with any football season but I have a funny feeling that this team is going to be very very good.
They return 3 of 5 starters and the 2 replacements have experiance. Stacked at running back. The best tight end weve had in a while imo. JJ has performed in two hostile enviornments against good competition, and he has some warm up games before we get to the real schedule. At wr we have plenty of talent the only question is who gets to play.
On defense the secondary now has experience with the best corner in the sec PP, along with one of the best dbs coach in the land. Linebackers, well we have them haha, but seriously they know what they are doing and chavis will put them in position. On d line nevis and alem are going to explode this season.
All in all while this may not be a national championship team i think we at least win the west. 40 days

9-3 or better and I'll be pleased.

i very much have the same feeling. i'm most always optimistic at this time of year, but i think the character of this team is one that seeks retribution. last year's team never seemed to gel (till bowl game). these guys are hungry! they have the talent to have a great season and i think the new defensive coaches are very good also. no way i'll predict an unbeaten season, but i will predict our Tigers will be a force to be reckoned with. a break here and a break there; we'll be in atlanta, baby!

I think we will see substantial improvement this year, especially on defense and at the QB position (including Lee when he gets in there behind Jefferson).
That said, however, I don't expect a huge improvement on our overall record. 9-3 is realistic, and I think most fans would be happy with that or better.
We have a very difficult schedule this year relative to the teams that are suppose to compete for the title. Not only do we play Alabama and Ole Miss on the road (the two teams besides LSU supposed to compete for the West), but we also play Georgia AND Florida (the two teams that will likely compete for the Eastern title).
That's a tough schedule, so I will be ok with winning at least one of those games and beating everyone that we'll be favored over. If we can somehow win two of those four "tough" games and win the ones we'll be favored in, then I will be thrilled with the season.
9-3 is what I expect. Anything better and I'll be really happy about how the season went.
