Yep, the USC (Integrated) Vs. Alabama (Segregated) in 1970 was a turning point in Southern Football history. In fact, the 1969 UT Longhorns were the last all white National Champions.

Clarence Davis was one of the running backs for SC, and was
from Alabama. When Bryant heard that, he vowed he would never
let a talented athlete leave Alabama without him trying to
get them to play for Alabama...and now the SEC is pretty
hard to beat....Bryant used to say he would "take the culls"
from the USC team...

...would like to see an all Samoan team...maybe Brigham
Young Hawaii might field such a team...the most fun would
be the announcers trying to pronounce the names under a
time constraint....
