Infobox

• Information in article needed to support "Offensive scheme" information
• Could not find any information to support "Base defense"

• I have provided citations for both the offense and defense in the infobox. Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Lead

• In April 2012 eight members of the 2011 squad were selected in the NFL Draft... → Put comma after "2012"

• Done Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Before the season

• No issues

Personnel

• The most notable departures from the previous year were defensive end Marcell Dareus; left tackle James Carpenter; tight end Preston Dial; quarterback Greg McElroy; wide receiver Julio Jones; and running back Mark Ingram, Jr.[22] → Commas should be put between names, not semicolons

• Done Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

• See also: American football positions, Glossary of American football, and Recruiting (college athletics) → Information not necessary for "See also"

• Removed "See also" links Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Schedule

• No issues

Game notes

• No issues

Rankings

• Sources needed to verify all of the information in the table, week by week

• I have provided an overall citation for the table at bottom that does link to all of the information provided for in the table. I feel this is the most appropriate way to handle this otherwise 49 separate citations would need to be added. Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

After the season

• No issues

References

Make sure you proofread this section, as this is the only major problem with this article. I went through the first twenty references, and here are the issues that I found:

• Reference 2 → "Associated Press" and "ESPN.com" should be wiki-linked
• Reference 3 → "Rivals.com" should be wiki-linked
• Reference 4 → "Scout.com" should be wiki-linked
• Reference 7 → "Sports Illustrated" should be wiki-linked
• Reference 8 → Wiki-link "The Tuscaloosa News" and provide publisher
• Reference 9 → Publisher of publication is needed
• Reference 10 → Wiki-link "Knoxville News Sentinel" and provide publisher
• Reference 11 → Wiki-link "National College Football Awards Association"
• References 12, 15, 16, 18, 19 → Publisher is needed
• Reference 14 → Wiki-link "Austin American-Statesman" and provide publisher
• Reference 17 → Wiki-link "The Birmingham News"

Make sure you follow the guidelines of WP:REF when you proofread through these.

• I have made the corrections as indicated above. I have also gone through the remainder of the article and added missing publisher information as well as adding wiki-links where appropriate. Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold at this time. There are some minor prose issues, but the main issue of the article is the reference formatting errors. I will give you the general seven days to fix these mistakes and/or address issues you believe do not affect good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
