Florida State can't slow down No. 10 Alabama's offense in a 50-36 Crimson Tide win
Keelon Russell totaled four touchdowns and Alabama rushed for three scores.
Florida State lost to Alabama, 50-36, in a rematch from last year's upset victory. Quarterback Keelon Russell was the star of the game, leading a dominant offense that rushed for 234 yards and three touchdowns. Florida State's defense struggled to contain Alabama throughout the second half, ultimately allowing the Tide to score a crucial 20-yard touchdown run by Trae’shawn Brown with seven minutes remaining.
Ashton Daniels managed to reduce the gap to 43-36, but it was too little, too late. This loss comes just days after Florida State parted ways with athletic director Michael Alford, who had been hired by the Seminoles in 2021. Coach Mike Norvell now faces a challenging season with three upcoming games against ranked opponents following a 2-2 record.
