Expectations in Oxford for 2012

---

It's hard for me to say. I expect a much better attitude and an exponentially better prepared team. There will still be hiccups and lingering signs of the mess that Nutt left, that's just gonna happen - a mess like ours isnt fixed overnight. However, I am confident we will see improvement in a number of areas.

I dont expect to see some huge turnaround this season in wins but I do expect to see a solid foundation established for what Freeze and his staff expect of their players.

I will say this, if we are 2-0 when Texas comes to town it will be a great early opportunity for our team to build alot of confidence for the rest of the season. We win that game, we are most likely going to be 4-0 before we are steamrolled by Bama in week 5.

In the end, I expect 4-5 wins. We should absolutely win 3 of 4 nc games and hopefully 1-2 sec wins. If we start off 4-0 though, I could see us getting to a bowl with home wins over Vandy, a&m, or State.

These State fans who are just writing off the Egg Bowl need to pump the brakes. Im not saying we will win, State should have a much better team than us this year but Freeze will have our team prepared for that game unlike we ever were during Nutt's tenure.
