With less than 45 days until the college football season begins, it's never too early to look at the 2013 football schedules and make wild blind predictions.
The eleventh in a series leading up to fall camps brings us to the land of the Twelfth Man.
Texas A&M Aggies 11-2 (6-2) in 2012
Synopsis: Kevin Sumlin brought new life and a Heisman to Aggieland. Will there be a sophomore slump or can they build on the success of 2012? Although WR Mike Evans (82 catches, 1105 yards, 5 TDs) returns, the Aggies lost some key members of their offense (see below) heaping more responsibility on QB Johnny Manziel. Can Manziel put all of his off-the-field missteps behind him and not let it affect his play?
Depending on how much of a disciplinarian Sumlin is, the defense could be without two key defenders in CB Deshazor Everett and DT Kirby Ennis for a few games. Or not... The defense returns a plethora of experience in the backfield and some experience on the D-line. However, there are many question marks at linebacker.
Key Losses: OT Luke Joeckel, RB Christine Michael, DE Damontre Moore, LB Sean Porter, LB Jonathan Stewart, WR Ryan Swope
Key Returners: Johnny You-Know-Who, OT Jake Matthews, CB Deshazor Everett?, WR Mike Evans, DT Kirby Ennis?, LB Steven Jenkins
Newcomers: ATH Ricky Seals-Jones, DT Isaiah Golden, DT Justin Manning, DB Kameron Miles, WR JaQuay Williams
