CARSON >> In Alabama’s drubbing of USC on Labor Day weekend, its front seven feasted on the Trojans’ offensive line.
Starting quarterback Max Browne, as a result, was sacked three times.
The Crimson Tide pass rushers swarmed the backfield and outmaneuvered the Trojans’ tackles and interior linemen. Often, it looked like they were quicker. Or they were at least overwhelming. At one point late in the first quarter, outside linebacker Ryan Anderson lined up in a three-point stance, shot forward and made a cut quick to his right. Zach Banner, the colossal USC right tackle, could not follow and rolled a few yards in the opposite direction.
