re: Does USC have a chance against Bama?

Let's hope for sooner, rather than later. I would love for a young QB to give bama fits and make it a close one. Just don't let it be another bammer blowout, IT'S ALL ON YOU, SINGLE USC FAN ON THIS BOARD

He's got company.

I think Sam Darnold gives us the best chance to win. He isn't as big a threat to go deep as Browne is at QB, but he's a gifted athlete, and can get out of the pocket and make things happen. Defenses hate that shite. I know ours does. Which is why I hope Bama start a statue QB instead of that young fella that can move.

If SC can establish the run, we can win. I don't care how good Bama's secondary is, if SC runs the ball well, the passing game will open up, and we've got some good receivers to complement JuJu Smith.

We actually have depth now, for the first time since the Reggie Bush sanctions. We just don't know how well they'll perform, especially the D-line. I think the LB's are actually pretty beastly. You're going to see Porter Gustin and Odewale Betiku sack whoever is under center for Bama more than a few times.

All this is a huge ask for SC though, seeing as how Bama has arguably the best and deepest front 7 in the nation.

If we do manage to pull off a win, I'd be pretty stoked though. There's no doubt nobody expects us to win. That's actually a good thing from the players' perspective.
