If anything I could see what people thinks is a close win for Bama and everyone will over react that Bama is not a great team. Then Bama will just go out and get better each week and show why they were ranked #1.
Bama will be careful with the QB, run the ball and play great D.

After LSU demoralized Oregon in Jerry world, Chip Kelly said "those are different types of athletes than we're used to seeing." The same should be said by USC after playing Bama. Anyone that predicts an upset simply wants to different, hates Bama, or just hates the SEC. There's no logical explanation for predicting USC to upset Bama.

labama has as many unanswered questions as USC. USC's skilled players are good enough to play anywhere in the country. I think this game will be closer than most think and I wouldn't be shocked if USC pulled the upset


I've been saying this the last two weeks. USC can match anyone talent for talent. Bamas only advantage is depth.

Gonna be a tough game.

However, if we lose, it will not be 38-35. It will be 24-20 or 20-17.

I don't see this. Yes USC has talent and has several NFL types, but not Bama talent. Sure Bama has some questions, but so does USC. Basically Alabama will have to give this game away with TO's and crappy ST's play. It could happen but doubtful.

Sporting News is/was the baseball Bible. College football has been a real weak point but you never know. That's why they play'em every Saturday. Stranger things have happened.

38 points ? Really? This chick just must not watch college football at all.

USC may win, but it will be Bama struggles on O. A score like 17-10 or 17-14.

I hope for this, but Bama will likely beat USC by 2 TDs.

I don't see a USC upset either. Trojans have some skilled players, but I don't think they match up with the intense inside play. In the immortal words of Mike Tyson, "everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth."

I don't see it either, I always route for the Pac 12 for out of conference games. Unless Bama is depleted on defense I don't see this game close when its all said and done. Juju Smith is solid wide out, Adore is scared to be hit as a WR and and I would make sure to put a big receiver on him all Adore can do is shove WR out of bounds as a CB. Though give him a lane on special team returns and he is gone. But by the end of the game Bama by plus 14. Just don't see SC hanging with Bama and the way SC fired Kiffen he will get himself sone redemption.

Saban will not let that happen. Bama will only lose to LSU this year
