Exactly. I'm not sorry. frick it.

There's no logical explanation for predicting USC to upset Bama.


Aren't most 'upsets' generally 'illogical?'

I hate being ranked #1 preseason. Maybe this will make the boys feel disrespected and they'll play harder.


Got to be tough to get a room full of 18-22 year old all stars to remain focused week to week.

Doubt it.

But Sporting News will seem like geniuses if this does happen.

Depends on if Alabama turns the ball over 3+ times.
If USC has success against the run game and Bama has to use the unproven QB to win it could be interesting. It's certainly plausible

I could see it happening if they don't get some form of decent QB play. Unless their D is just rediculously good and get some pick 6s or something.

If Bama scores 33 and loses it won't be on Lane.

When it's all said an done ppl will look. Back at last years bama D as the best of all time. Look at who they lost but still will have a dominant D. Lsu's defense is finally back to what ppl have been used to seeing as well. November in BR gamblers Better take the under in points scored. That's a guarantee

I'm not overly confident about the game by any means. I would probably give Bama a 60% chance to win. Max Browne was the #1 QB recruit and he has some stud receivers to throw to. With Bama having a new QB and 4 new starters on the OL, Bama could very well struggle to score.

If Bama's Oline can't hold up, the QB doesn't improve over preseason, and Bama's DBs don't hold up then it could happen. Those are the questions no one will know til game time.

Bama will win, then the USC band will play Tusk. USC will only win the battle of the bands.

Bamas only advantage is depth.


That's a pretty significant advantage though, especially from the mid 3rd Qtr on.

A lot has to happen for SC to win this game. It should be fun and competitive for as long as the SC players stay fresh.

. 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.
