Back to the Alabama Crimson Tide Newsfeed

USC’s AD Mike Bohn is very optimistic on the Trojans playing Alabama as scheduled

Are things starting to trend in a positive direction for the state of California, in terms of getting through the coronavirus pandemic?

According to a report from Ryan Kartje of the L.A. Times, it seems like it.

A couple of weeks ago, rumors started surfacing on the possibility of Alabama facing Texas Christian University at AT&T Stadium on Sept. 5 instead of USC. With the state remaining under a “stay-at-home” order, many people thought the Crimson Tide would look for a different matchup to open the coming season. Greg Byrne and Mike Bohn (USC’s athletics director) both denied the rumors and on Thursday, Bohn had a Zoom interview arranged for him by West Coast Sports Associates and it was hosted by Sam Lagana of Pepperdine.
