Alabama was back on the practice field Friday afternoon for its 23rd practice of the fall and first day of USC install. The Crimson Tide players practiced outdoors and in shells on a mostly-sunny, 93-degree afternoon.

Here are several tidbits from the media viewing portion of Alabama's Friday practice session in Tuscaloosa:

- After 21 practices, there was a noticeable change along what appears to be the first-team offensive line. Bradley Bozeman lined up at center, while Ross Pierschbacher moved over to right guard. Cam Robinson was at left tackle, Lester Cotton was at left guard and Jonah Williams was at right tackle -- just like we have seen the last 21 practice sessions.

- The second-team offensive line was comprised of, from left to right, Matt Womack, Dallas Warmack, JC Hassenauer, Alphonse Taylor and Korren Kirven. Nick Saban said Taylor would be day-to-day with an injury.

- Inside linebacker Rashaan Evans did not appear to be doing much in one period of individual drills.

- I did not spot inside linebacker Joshua McMillon during the one media viewing period Friday.

- A few scout-team numbers dotted the practice field Friday afternoon. They were linebacker Mekhi Brown wearing No. 45 (DE Porter Gustin), defensive lineman Johnny Dwight wearing No. 44 (DT Malik Dorton) and running back Lawrence Erekosima wearing No. 22 (RB Justin Davis).

- Several walk-on wide receivers and defensive backs also wore Nos. 1, 2 and 9, representing USC playmakers Darreus Rogers, Adoree Jackson and Juju Smith-Schuster, respectively.

*** What’s next: Alabama will return to practice Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT for its final practice before game week.

Can we score or move the chains like Clemson did in the Championship game on Bama's defense? This will tell the story. If Helton & Tee puts together a game plan like Dabo Swinney did against Bama in the championship game we will win this game. If Helton and Tee come in with a game plan like Clay's mediocre one against Wisconsin in the Holiday Bowl we'll get our asses handed to us. That being said, I have a good feeling that Clancy is going to rip into Lane and Bama's offense with major pressure from multiple angles. By the time Lane figures out what Clancy is doing hopefully the game will be out of hand. First game of the season should definitely be to our advantage not Bama's. All this talk about how good Saban is doesn't mean a can of beans if SC comes in with a great game plan. Saban "D" coordinator is the coach of Georgia and the new personal will make a lot of mistakes if SC "O" puts pressure on them from the get go. At the end of the day, we have a lot of advantages going into this game but it's up to the coaches to use these advantages to win the game. Another thing, if we come into this game believing we can play Bama close opposed to we can beat Bama we will lose this game. You have to come into this game knowing that you can knock Bama the **** out!!! Fight On and Role the Tide.
