Tarmacked 6 Kentucky win looks pretty good. I'm not sure what the hell was going on with the single man coverage with no help, but again we saw a flash of the offensive ceiling. If they had played this cleanly i'd have them at #5 over Miami but something is always slightly off with this team. That being said FSU did play SMU close, so maybe they are better but it is Norvell so hard to judge without 4-5 more games in conference play for them.

elnino550 8 Another terrible first half performance, unable to run the ball before both the defence and Russell took over after the 2nd weather delay and the running game started to gel too. I am concerned about the secondary, since this is meant to be the strongest part of the team but FSU ripped them to shreds in the first half. The win over Kentucky looks a lot better now though and if this team turns up for the first 2 quarters of games they could be elite.

jrich960608 8 Alabama is not moving this week. The Kentucky win looks a LOT better, but once again Alabama seems to have Regigigas’ “Slow Start” ability (anyone get this reference? No?) Alabama will lose if they continue this trend, you cannot seriously compete in the SEC or B10 by only playing 2 quarters to your potential. Russell is FAST, and shows young mistakes which is fine, but the talent is there. The defense is very good, I’m not sold on the running game until I see it for a full game. The start of this game against a bad FSU team was reminiscent to last year.

Doogitywoogity 10 First half Alabama looked flawed once again this week, but Russell managed to keep the Tide from going out to sea. Still only a 14 point win at home with a +3 turnover margin doesn’t look good. FSU is a talented but very flawed and inconsistent team, which Alabama needs to do a better job of taking advantage of if they want to keep this spot. Still Russell is young and looks to be developing well already. Georgia looms large in a few weeks, but Alabama needs to be careful not to trip on Mississippi State or South Carolina before then.

The reason BYU slipped while Alabama didn't is because SMU was between them at #9 last week.

Pyromania1983 10 Alabama has been teasing us with potential upsets over the past two weeks. The first halves of each of their past two games have been extremely close, both within five points. However, just like in Week 2 against Kentucky, Week 3 against Florida State led to a 50-spot and a 14-point win. The defense didn't look good at all, but the explosive offense carried the way.

Lefunnymaymays4lief 11 (-) You guys can stay put. Not many teams have looked consistently like a top ten team, hell I don’t think I can say that about anyone but I DEFINITELY can’t about Bama, who should be thanking their lucky stars they didn’t lose to FSU AGAIN. Russell progression promising, but DB regression certainly isn’t

GrimmacingGrinny 8 Norvell almost had it. FSU led for a portion of the first half, but Alabama came storming back to hang 50 on FSU. It does become a question of whether these slow starts that have popped up against FSU & last week against Kentucky will eventually bite Alabama.

_THE__BOULDER_ 10 FSU came to play in Tuscaloosa, and they played fairly well. Alabama was down big midway through the 2nd, and continued to hang around as Alabama rallied and took the lead. Alabama was beat on the deep ball several times this game, which was well planned by FSU, who probably knew they weren't going to get much going on the ground. And they didn't - Alabama only let up 94 rushing yards. But they did let up 377 passing yards. While Alabama's defense played well against Kentucky, this was definitely more of an offensive showing, putting up 567 total yards of offense and no turnovers. They may have started slow, but they got hot and showed out. If Alabama can play a complete game on both sides of the ball, they will be an impressive team.

noah_divine 12 Let Florida State hang with them way, way too long. Still confident in Keelon Russell, but I need to see more from Alabama to truly believe this team has a chance of doing something.
d1sportsball 13 Alabama has been a weird football team, but definitely a good one. They rolled East Carolina, but then struggled in the first half vs Kentucky. They ended up rolling Kentucky, only for the exact same scenario to play out the following week vs FSU to a worse degree. Alabama can not continue these slow starts, because better teams will take major advantage of what they give them.
