College football finally makes its long-awaited return, and Week 1 promises fireworks across the nation. For Alabama, the curtain-raiser comes with a heavyweight clash on the road against Florida State in Tallahassee.
The Crimson Tide step into the 2025 season looking to raise the bar after a 9-4 campaign in Kalen DeBoer’s debut year, a solid return by most standards, yet still shy of the sky-high playoff expectations in Tuscaloosa.
Florida State, by contrast, enters from far stormier waters, staggering through an unexpected 2-10 collapse last fall that cast doubt over Mike Norvell’s leadership. Even so, the Seminoles have retooled with a handful of eye-catching transfers, hoping fresh blood can spark a much-needed revival.
