re: Question about the 2012 LSU Football team

I think that's a little ridiculous to be disappointed in a 10-2 season in the SEC.

Especially considering you guys will be starting a QB will hardly any game day experience. Not saying that he isn't talented....just that nobody really knows and he has never been tested in a game.

I expect LSU to take a step back this year but still be in the hunt. I can see them dropping a game to someone like USC, UF, or A&M and then losing to Bama. 10-2 is about what i'd expect out of them.

9-3 is a let down.
11-1 is a really good year.
12-0 I will be more shocked at this than if UF loses 8 games.

We started Jordan Jefferson at QB in the NC game. How, exactly, did his experience or his performance give you the impression that our QB could, let alone actually will, be any worse this year?

We are a consensus top 3 or 5 team going into the season. Winning exactly 10 games this year (counting bowl, SECCG, etc.) would be:

-The 3rd worst of Miles' 8 seasons
-Only the 2nd time in Miles' 8 seasons that we fell short of preseason expectations and ranking (despite being ranked in the top 8 preseason in six of those eight seasons)
-A 3-game step back from last year despite playing an easier schedule by far

Why wouldn't anyone be disappointed in that?
