It's only February, but is it ever too early to look toward LSU's 2012 football season and make a few predictions? The WAFB Sports Team has selected several stories below that are worth your examination.
From CBS Sports
The Alabama loss should provide all the motivation needed to go to back-to-back championship games. Tiger Nation is still trying to figure out what happened in New Orleans when the offense looked like it was trying to run the clock out -- without scoring a point.
The Bleacher Report:
LSU, despite losing two senior quarterbacks and strong defensive players like Morris Claiborne, will be the preseason No. 1 and a favorite to return to the BCS National Championship game in 2012. USC, coming off of a bowl ban, will be looking to return to BCS glory and could be the team opposing the Tigers in the title game.
ESPN:
Depending on where you live, it might seem like winter didn't start until this past weekend.But less than a month after Alabama defeated LSU 21-0 in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans, college football spring practices are starting.
CBS Sports:
LSU had a somewhat disappointing finish with their recruiting class on Signing Day but they're hoping that the class of 2013 starts and finishes with a bang.
Burnt Orange Nation:
Texas football site: The Tigers possibly could have secured a commitment from Ishmael Wilson this weekend, but had a similar problem finding an opportunity to view film ($) of one of the best offensive linemen in the state who loves your school and the situation then starts to become pretty laughable. Internet skillz on the LSU staff? Lacking.
LSU Reveille:
News travels fast. When that news concerns LSU football, it travels faster. Jeryl Brazil, a junior athlete from Loranger High School and the first commit in the LSU class of 2013, learned that the hard way.
The Orlando Sentinel
It's a new season and a new set of challenges for the SEC thanks to the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M. That being said, here are five conference games to keep an eye on in 2012.
The Sporting News
He hasn't even coached a game yet, and Sumlin already is one of five coaches with something to prove this fall. Not surprising, Missouri's Gary Pinkel-whose team also enters the SEC in 2012-is on the list, too.
