Better leadership, IMO. Talent??? Remains to be seen, but possibly.

Yeah like the one where we beat them at their house?

A&M hasn't won shite. Their QB had one outstanding year and so they made a good run in their first year in the SEC.

They are losing the best OLineman in college football and possibly one of the top 5 in Mathews. They are losing their second best RB. They are losing their 2nd and 3rd WRs. Those three guys accounted for 27 of their TDs this year. They are not quite a juggernaut yet.

I don't think we are close to talent from 2011.

LSU will have a tough 2013 season but it won't be due primarily to the schedule. LSU has played and succeeded with killer schedules in the past.

The problems the 2013 team will endure are the same ones the 2012 team faced and failed to overcome. LSU lacks a credible OC and thus a credible offense. Address that issue and LSU can succeed even with their schedule.

I don't think another team in the country plays a tougher 4 opponents(GA,FL,A&M,ALA) than LSU, then you run our offense against those teams....forget about it!

yeah, a juggernaut almost loses to La. Tech. And gives up 57 point. Put me down as one of those on the juggernaut bandwagon. And they can bring all the titles they won with...oh wait

Georgia won't be as good next year but they'll still be a very good team. Agreed with this. We'll lose at least 2 games. So yea, no chance. Ole Miss will be a challenge like they always are. Auburn/Ar-Kansas will be better. Even our OOC is tough. TCU will not be easy and Kent State is a good small college team...UAB is always good. Remember what they did last time here?

My personal prediction is 3-4 losses...unless offense makes drastic changes. I have very little optimism(rightfully so) that this will happen.

This is what I find funny about all the speculation going on now. I remember all the threads back then about how the 2011 team was just a little too young, but 2012 would clearly be our year. And of course right before 2012, until the injuries and dismissals, expectations were high.

I love all of the speculation, but it really is too soon. That's why I find all of the A&M hype funny right now. People started saying it, and now everyone is too scared to take the counter position. Voila, A&M is a juggernaught.

total bullshite. it's killer. but downplaying it will help miles detractors' case.

alabama's not running through that schedule either. difference is, they don't have to.
