I see us losing 3 games in '12.


with a more than adequate secondary, a better pass rush than '10, and a potentially monster offense?

Idk, I don't know anything about alabama. Probably 2 games max in the regular season.

Which is why I said he'd be the only one.

Peaople talk about how bad the '10 D was but we still had the best D in the conference.
The 2010 defense was good overall. They just couldn't make stops when it counted the most (4th quarter of the LSU and Auburn games).

This is the key to me. The defense will be fine for the most part, but there will be a couple of times against good offensive teams where the 2012 offense is going to have to put up a lot of points to win the game. Bama's offense hardly ever has to put up 30 points to win a game, but they need to be able to do it when needed. We don't even know who the o-coordinator is, so this is still a big question mark.

What games do you expect us to lose?


I think you lose to LSU and that's it. Arkansas can beat their chest as much as they want, but they lose a good amount of players on both sides of the ball. I think the game will be a toss up but don't expect you guys to lose.

LSU and Arky seem to be the only potential losses.

You're probably right about that.

I'm counting us losing to Arky/LSU. And, I think we will lose another game because of the offense. Until we know who the OC is and what kind of offense we'll be running I just don't know what to expect yet. Our defense may put the load on the O early in the season, and I don't know how they will handle it.

Yep, but we own Arky, so I'm gonna count that as a win for now.

Talent wise/production: Right in between 2010 and 2011.

Will look good. Not as good as this year D. The lose of experience is tough. Dont forget about hasean clinton-dix and lester in the secondary. Saban always has talent on Defense waiting there turn. Its hard to say but we lost alot of veteran players and leaders.
