Alabama and USC will kick off the 2016 season against each other the Cowboys Classic. Unless the two teams meet in a bowl or the College Football Playoff, it will be the first time the Tide and Trojans have played since 1978.
The Sept. 3, 2016 meeting continues the recent trend of noteworthy contests on college football's opening weekend. Alabama will play in the 2015 Cowboys Classic against Wisconsin, and that 2016 date falls on the same day as Notre Dame at Texas.
Alabama and USC competed for national titles and played four times in the 1970's, splitting the series 2-2 with the Trojans taking handing the Tide its only loss in 1978. One interesting note, courtesy of USA Today's Paul Myerberg; Alabama's win against Washington two weeks later in that 1978 season is the program's most recent win against a Pac-10/12 team.

The game will sell out. That is for sure. The last time USC defeated Alabama was in 1978 in Birmingham. USC ended up with one loss, and a one loss Alabama was voted National Champion in one of the polls even though USC had defeated them. USC has not forgotten that.

Usc is going to get their shit pushed in ...would have been fun if this was Pete era vs Saban era nfl guys on 3rd string on both sides. Now not so much usc is getting avg 4 and 3 star players they landed 1 5 star in 2014 that's more like a ucla class with the exception of that 1 5 star.

yep usc had a great run. and they had a good class lined up. had barkley coming back and were +330 to win it all at the start of that year. ended up going 7-5 some weakass sh1t.......they had a bunch of 4 and 5 star guys that pulled out of what was going to be an awesome class ended up having the #13 overall recruiting class. pretty much just another team battling for top 25 every year now

USC gets raped. 35-14

Now how would a gay know about rape, unless he was raped when he was in jail. Come on out to L.A. on 8/30 and watch your gay friends at Fresno State get the crap kicked out of them. Then we will kick the crap out of you. I dare you to show up, you little f\*g.

Lane Kiffen should have things in fine order with the offense by then. Should be a great reunion with his old friends.
