Well,
this game was close for about half of the first quarter.
After that, one could see why BAMA is rated at the top of the college football polls.
That said, if USC had an offensive line that actually could block and move people, this could have been different. Their QB is not very good though so I expect USC to finish in the pac 12 somewhere in the middle.
Bama is strong. It will take a good defense and a strong O line with a good offense to beat them this year. Time will tell.
