USC beat an all white Alabama team 42-21. It has been said that Bryant scheduled the game to show his fan base that Alabama could not compete without black players. Alabama began recruiting black players thereafter. It was a game that changed college football especially in the South. Trivia question. Who was the last all white college football team to win a National Championship?
