re: Will 2012's Lsu Football team be better than 2011?

Based on consistency and excellency in performance, here is how I would rate the 2011 versus 2012 seasons:

Special Teams:
2011 A+
2012 A
Defense:
2011 A
2012 A-
Offense:
2011 C+ (Many of the points scored were special teams or defensive oriented or at least facilitated)
2012 A-
Difficulty of Schedule: (easier gets high grade)
2011: D- (9 games versus ranked teams)
2012: B- (No Oregon, WVU, etc..but it is still the SEC)

Bottom Line:
2012 should be a tangibly better team across the board, counting each units support of the other for down-and-distance, field position, etc... As such, 2012 will be a far more complete team, and I think if Mett turns out to be reasonably good, this could be the best team ever at LSU. I am counting on ODBJr and Jarvis Landry to be as good as I think they are for this prognostication, and for Shep to be at least ok.
