Bama's schedule in 1978:

Gonna need to go a few years further on back there, skippy. And Bryant already wanted to recruit black players years before but wasn't allowed by the powers that be. The general thinking is that he scheduled the Sam "Bam" Cunningham game with USC specifically for the purpose of demonstrating to those powers that without black players their beloved football program was going to fall irretrievably behind.

No, the football team had been integrated for 7 or 8 years at that point. While USC also beat us that year (24-14), the season you're talking 'bout is 1970 when Sam Cunningham went through us like a knife through butter...

You're off by about a decade.
Which probably means you have a degree from Auburn, either in Math or History.
