Jumbo Package: Is the Bryce Young commitment a case of history repeating?

Happy Monday, everyone. The Tide beat up on poor Southern Miss as expected, but the big news came on the recruiting trail with the commitment of uber-talented QB Bryce Young.

It’s a big deal for Alabama, which will likely have to replace Tua Tagovailoa after the 2019 season -- or at least ensure it has a backup behind his brother, Taulia Tagovailoa.

It’s also a massive blow to USC. Young’s decommitment drops USC’s current class ranking in 2020 to No. 62 overall, No. 8 in the Pac-12. There’s still plenty of time for the Trojans to add more to their class, but this is unchartered territory for a USC recruiting class and will serve to turn the temperature on Helton’s seat up more.
