The first integrated football game in Alabama was played on
Crimson soil in September 1970, and the two teams that met
represented two distinct faces of college football:
legendary Alabama coach Bear Bryant's Tide was the all-white
national powerhouse in the SEC; and the USC Trojans, coached
by John McKay, featured an all-black starting backfield that
reflected the social changes that were sweeping the nation.
Bestselling author Don Yaeger, teamed with USC fullback Sam
Cunningham and defensive captain John Papadakis, tells for
the first time the complete story of what transpired during
this historic game.
