That USC team was so different than the one now


Sure, they have improved over the year, but so has Bama. How many td's did USC give up in November? Bama gave up 0.

do you understand why they are much different/better now than they were in the opener?

They are different on offense, and I'm sure that does help their defense - but their defense didn't magically become awesome. They were solid at the start of the year when they were losing too. Alabama had 7.38 yards per play against them, by far the biggest output they allowed all year. Next most is 6.52 vs Stanford and 5.72 vs Cal. And that was with Blake Barnett playing a quarter and Jalen Hurts making his first ever appearance in a college football game.

USC would present more problems offensively now, and their defense wouldn't be on the field as much, but Alabama did win the game by 46 points.
