In 1979, USC had arguably the most talented college team of all time

With two future Heisman winners and three future members of the NFL Hall of Fame. If any team is unbeatable, they should have been. They came into Tiger Stadium facing a team with much less talent than the 2012 edition of the Tigers. On paper, it should have been a blowout, but it took a disputed penalty for them to escape with a nail biter.
2012 Bama is an excellent team, but they're no 79 USC. And 2012 LSU is much, much better than 79 LSU. We have every chance to win this thing. That's why you play the game. Roll the ball out there and see what happens.
I shouldn't have to even be saying this, but so many fair weather fans are already conceding the loss in a game that will have a pick em line or at most a couple of points either way. As stated on another thread, Saban took some of you guys' balls with him when he left.

I ain't skeered, as the kids say. They're still saying that, right?

It's gonna take a group effort . Fans players and coaches. This game will surpass UGA 03' , FLA 07' and Bama 10' in terms of electricity in the air. Negativity should be put aside until after the clock hits double zero on Nov 3rd.

'79 USC... I don't believe the electricity in Tiger Stadium that night can ever be replicated. Greatest sporting event I've witnessed in 50 years.
But if it's possible, then Bama in two weeks is the one.

Earthquake game, without a doubt. First time we beat Bama in TS sine 69. Oh yeah, it can be topped.

Did you hibernate through 2010?

The earthquake game was one moment in time....imagine that for 3 hours and you've got USC '79.

Phantom not even close. His head turned. Great game and effort but to this day even my dad makes it sound like a bs call but it was a good call.

USC o-line moved before the face mask... It's on tape.

I think it will be a pretty good game. Hopefully we can get some 3rd down conversions to keep our defense off the field and rested. If not, we will need turnovers.

I listened to it on the radio, it was totally charged. Definitely one of the cornerstones that built the reputation the stadium now has.

Come on, dude. Hit up youtube. It's a fricking obvious facemask grab.

It's also obvious the USC guard or tackle raised up and moved before the snap. The face mask penalty would have never happened, play would've been dead.

If you watched the whole game, or whole series, you'll see the no call on the O Line. I was there and saw it live.

Earthquake game was against Auburn, not Bama
