Because USCw beat the absolute shite out of bama. They had quite a few black players on their team. Sam Bam Cunningham was their star player. That is when bear decided he needed to integrate.

Don't be ignorant of the fact that the 1970 USC game is a myth as it relates to integration.

This is true.

This is not. He wanted to integrate before then, but the administration and governor were against it. He pushed to play southern cal for the soul purpose of proving the team would have to integrate for Bama to stay competitive.
Or at least that's the why I've heard it explained.
