Come on guy that line is from a joke, not a fact. Bryant scheduled a game with USC (the one in California not SC) in Birmingham which Alabama lost by the way. USC had a great black running back and at the time Alabama's team was all white. That game gave Bryant what he needed to break the color barrier and add black players to the team.That's why BB first said ......look at that Puerto Rican run.....he didnt want the blacks either but knew enough that he needed them
