Alabama leads the all-time since 3-1-1 against Florida State. Florida State’s lone victory was a 21-14 win on Sept. 29, 2007 in Jacksonville that is now vacated. This will be the first matchup between the teams at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.
Alabama enters its second season under head coach Kalen DeBoer, who replaced the legendary Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide went 9-4 capped off with a 19-13 loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
After going 13-1 in 2023, Florida State significantly regressed to a 2-10 mark last season in Mike Norvell’s fourth year at the helm. The Seminoles have registered 3 losing seasons during the Norvell era, the most for any Florida State coach since Bill Peterson, who had 4 in 10 years from 1960-70.
Alabama at Florida State is slated to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and will be broadcast on ABC.
