. I think this game will be closer than most think and I wouldn't be shocked if USC pulled the upset...especially if Bama starts a true freshman at QB.

I think Bama's best chance to win would be to play Hurts at qb. Spare me the "true freshman, lack of exp., not in the system long enough talk". I'm convinced Hurts has a high football IQ plus his maturity level doesn't seem typical for your everyday freshman. The qbs in front of him haven't been able to distance themselves from Hurts and they've been in the system longer.
