Alabama Crimson Tide Team Overview
Last game, the Alabama Crimson Tide lost 31-17 to the Florida State Seminoles as 13.5-point road favorites. The game went over the total of 47.
At the onset, Alabama football wanted to begin its 2025 season by slobbering an unranked non-conference opponent. Instead, they made history in the worst way. Alabama lost a game in that manner for the first time in nearly 18 years with a two-score margin to show for the error-filled effort. Hence, things could not have gone much worse according to plan for the No. 8 Crimson Tide at Florida State on Saturday.
A 16-play opening drive by the visitors to start Kalen DeBoer’s second season and Ty Simpson’s first college start yielded a touchdown and chewed up a large chunk of the first-quarter clock at Doak Campbell Stadium. However, until an attempt by Alabama in the fourth quarter, much of the game was dominated by the Seminoles. To illuminate, Florida State built up a 24-7 lead after scoring on its first offensive drive of the game with a touchdown.
Overall, Simpson finished 24-for-43 with 254 yards and a pair of scores in his 17th Alabama appearance. Simpson made his share of failures in the loss. As an example, he blew an attempt late in the third quarter to make a pass on a fourth down when he could’ve run far enough to move the chains. Yet his play was not the reason Florida State won the game.
Alabama’s defense struggled to exact revenge on Seminoles’ signal caller Tommy Castellanos. Previously, his summer remarks stung about the Crimson Tide program not having Nick Saban to save it anymore and not being able to stop him. To summarize, Castellanos backed up his confidence with 152 passing yards, 78 rushing yards, and a score on the ground.
