I dot think that usc is that overrated but who else in the Pac will compete with them? Tbh the game would have been kept reasonable up until the player curb stomping Fitzpatrick nuts...after that all bets were off...also they have an all American wide reciver and an elite 11 qb with an experienced oline...of course bama will only get better but so will those guys wouldn't doubt seeing them in a big time bowl at the end of the year

USC lost their stating center for the season. He tore his ACL and MCL during their second series and played the rest of the game. Tough player but even tougher for the Trojans going forward.

Well, I think they were a pretty talented football team, honestly. They had athletes, and like some have mentioned, would fare pretty well in the SEC this season. I think they would beat Auburn, MSU, Kentucky, Vandy, USCe, Florida, Tennessee, Mizzou, and Arkansas.
I just think that Alabama's defense is disgustingly good, and they couldn't do ANYTHING on offense. When we got up by 2 TDs, and then got the pick 6, they quit, and it got ugly.
It's going to take an elite-level offense to challenge our defense this season. Any team without one is going to get crushed.

they had a decent plan for almost a half.

maybe about half as good as we thought they were.

I'm not sure they were that overrated at #20. I don't look at an opening game blowout as all that definitive of how good or bad the two teams were. I think it's pretty safe to say Bama is the better team. But if they played again Saturday I think it would be a 10-14 point game.

In looking at Bama's scores over the last couple of years, I'd say USC is about equal to 2015 Charleston Southern (56-6), or 2014 Texas A&M (59-0).

Is Bama strong again this year? Of course..always in the top in recruiting and coaching...was USC a good opponent? NO...they were garbage.

Little known fact, but USC is actually the second best team in college football this year. That just shows how good Alabama is.

Don't be ridiculous. Clearly, the second best team in college football is Appalachian State.

They may be talented but Clay Helton is the worst coach in the PAC 12.

It was one of those games where Alabama got up on them and it snowballed. they were not as bad as it looked, but they are not as good as some of the experts said they were.

Good chance. Alabama might beat them by 21 or more...but it wouldn't be as bad as last Saturday.

I don't think Baja is anywhere as good as her made them look. Had basically has two plaYers. Browne
Is overrated as frick. No home run running threat. They are the Tennessee of the west coast. Defense is okay but not stellar and not deep and they are light years away from being ice again on the lines.
