🏈 just thinking about 2012

[planomateo]

we have studs returning at every single level on the D, sprinkle in a few new guys who have seen playing time with maybe a few new folks, the OL is gonna be stout, our running game is just what it's been the last few seasons, and we are gonna see AJ connecting on more of the deep balls.

something just tells me this is gonna be a fun year and very easily could be special - nobody has us coming back like we will.

I'm curious to see your D. The offense will be fine. AJ has come into his own, you have several talented backs and a stout OL. The D has loads if talent but loses a good bit of experience and talent, yes? I know there are some returning starters and the cupboard is far from bare but there will be a bit if an adjustment period. Fortunately, Michigan won't be good enough to test anything so you'll have a big game atmosphere against a nationally ranked team to pick up confidence and such. The D will mature as the season progresses but I'm not sure it costs you much of anything.

Its def. gonna be an interesting season... if everything that's been said on here and otherwise about the D-Line rings true then that could be huge for our D... nothing better for a young, inexperienced group of DBs than a dominating D-Line... Im really interested to see who is gonna step in at JACK, will it be Hubbard, Dickson, someone else? I think the other LB spots are likely sured up with Nico, CJ, & DePriest (SAM?)... Nose Tackle and Safety are the others I'm really lookin forward to seeing the competition at. I think Ivory and Jesse Williams are the obvious choices at Nose and I think if Dial, Pagan, or Stinson are able to really step up and take one of the End spots it will be a much easier decision to move Williams to Nose. Will HaHa & Vinnie share the other Safety spot, what about Landon? Gonna be a fun season.

I think this year can be very special judging by our defense. That opening game vs Michigan is really good to get some new players experience to have a "feel" of the speed of the game and mature faster. I cannot wait to see our Safety rotations, Vinnie,Ha-Ha, Collins maybe, and a few other talented studs, that is really exciting. Our offense should be stout baring any injuries. LB's is really the question for me, I'm not doubting Mosley and Nico, but who will be up there making the calls, adjusting the defense around? Overall this Bama team is scary and with a NC QB coming back and a solid O-line is great but I have us @LSU or @Ark and playing in a BCS Bowl.......WATCH OUT FOR @ TENN.

I would be nice to make a BCS bowl. Now...correct me if I am wrong, but only one team in BCS history has won the National one year and actually made to a BCS bowl game next: the Florida Gators (Nat'l 08' and Sugar Bowl 09"). Yes?

Woah didn't realize I forgot something in that sentence :very_drunk:. And didn't Oklahoma(03-04 lost both), Miami(01-02, and USC(04-05) go back-to-back National Championships?
