🏈 Bama vs. FSU Score?

Not sure why many of you have this as a high scoring affair - two of the very best defenses in all of college football, first game of the year, OL questions on both sides, QBs who are still young....

I would be VERY afraid to call this one for 'Bama if it just came down to kicking, and I AM afraid we will leave points on the field when we should have had 3 but.....

I DO think we begin to wear them down in the trenches, and get a long drive with a running TD in the fourth....

20-13 'Bama.
 
Both teams are incredibly similar. And neither coach has any reason to open up the offense. Both know they have strong defenses and a long season. With both teams on top of the rankings and so close to each other, both know the loser will not drop far so long as a blowout can be avoided. Both teams realize they can endure a loss in Week One and still probably absorb another regular season loss to a quality opponent as long as they win their respective conference championships. The mobility of each QB will result in a few more scoring drives than each team had in '07. Otherwise I see a very similar game to '07: boring, conservative, competitive, lots of punts, offenses stalling in the red zone. In Week One of the season, I have to give the nod to the FSU QB over Hurts, and the FSU kicker over our kicker.

FSU 27
Ala 23

HOWEVER, I like our chances to win it all IF we can avoid any injuries at DL and make improvements throughout the season. We will rely on lots of inexperience to contribute at multiple positions and Hurts must gradually settle into the new offensive system. If these things happen, we will make the play off again.
 
I really have to question anyone that could argue that Saban looks at ANY game and says "if we lose its okay, as long as its not a blowout." No body in their right mind, that has paid ANY attention the last decade could even fathom Saban thinking that.

True enough, it's not how this dynasty conduct's business. Anyone that seriously follows football and understands emotionally what they're looking at will get this game as personal.

The knowledge that no undefeated power 5 team is eliminated after one loss, at any stage of the season, doesn't have a fricking thing to do with how bad I want to beat the Seminoles.
