However I do think it's true that Bear scheduled the SC game for the primary purpose of stimulating a more pervasive change for integration.

Damn smart move by him. It allowed to avoid getting swept into a political and social discussion. It was a quiet and effective tool to bring about what he needed to effectuate change.

I don't doubt that the USC game changed perception. Most Alabama folks just dislike the mythology that surrounds the game, when Wilbur Jackson was already on the team.
