Ellis Johnson doesn't think the crowd will play a big factor

We need to show Coach Johnson how load Bryant-Denny is on Saturday:

"Frankly, when I coached at Alabama we went in a lot of louder stadiums than we had at Alabama," Johnson said. "Alabama's got very football-intelligent fans. They've been used to championships. They've been used to tradition. They've seen it all. It's gotten a lot louder now because it's bigger now than it was."

Johnson, a Winnsboro native in his second year at USC, is concerned about how his young defense will respond in a hostile environment against an offense averaging 37 points a game. In a 28-26 win against Kentucky on Saturday, Johnson said he counted seven freshmen or redshirt freshmen on the field at the same time.

"I'm sure it'll be a tough environment because of the football team and coach (Nick) Saban. It won't be anything because of the fans. That'll be the secondary issue," Johnson said. "I know it's going to be tough for these young freshmen to go in that environment"

Although to be fair, he did say BDS is a special place. Still,why not show him just how loud we can be?
