#24 Alabama takes on Florida State on Saturday for the first time in over 30 years. The game will be played in Jacksonville, Florida and is expected to draw the largest crowd in the history of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. "It's going to be exciting," Florida State quarterback Drew Weatherford said. "Their fans travel great and so do ours. It's going to be a historical night, I think. I'm really looking forward to it like everyone else is." Early betting has the public taking Alabama on the Road.
Alabama could easily be unbeaten but lost in overtime last week to Georgia.
"I'm very, very proud of the way the team responded and played in the second half," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban, “We came back in the game on several occasions, we had an opportunity to have a chance to win the game in overtime, so the competitive spirit, the resiliency, the overcoming adversity, the getting it turned around, getting adjustments made were all positives."
The Seminoles won two weeks ago against Colorado but were not impressive in the 16-6 win. Weatherford was just 8-for-18 for 126 yards and no touchdowns. Anton Smith had 19 carries for 66 yards. The only good thing for FSU was the defense that nearly got a shutout. "We gave up 48 points our first two games, so we wanted to get the shutout," linebacker Derek Nicholson said. "It's disappointing, but six points is not that bad."
