[FONT="]Question: If Southern Cal is going to score on Alabama, will it be the run or the pass?[/FONT][FONT="]"We'll find out on Sept. 3," Martin replied.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Question: Which one today has been more efficient in practice?[/FONT]
[FONT="]"We'll find out on Sept. 3," Martin said.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Mobile native did on Alabama. Well, a little.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"Alabama is Alabama," Martin said of the Tide's defense in comparison to teams USC normally battles. "They have size and speed across the board. What is different about them - and similar to when we play the Notre Dames and Stanfords of the world - is the execution of what they try to do. That's what makes a defense like that good."[/FONT]
[FONT="]Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will be a big story leading up to the game as he will face the team he coached before being fired.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"It'll be interesting to watch," Martin said of Kiffin. "A couple of years ago, Lane pretty much adopted what we do on offense. From how they get plays in, the way their mechanics on offense, Alabama and Lane pretty much adopted what we do here at Southern Cal.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"We're friends. A lot of us talk. Over the years, we have shared ideas. The Alabama defensive staff came out and visited with our defensive staff last year. We're familiar with a lot of what they do, and they are familiar with what we do."[/FONT]
