How are you feeling about tonight's game vs. FSU?

Confident? Nervous? Somewhere in between. Think we win? Think we lose?
I am concerned about the game. FSU is certainly a team that can beat us. They have a good QB & good running back (Cam Akers is a really good RB & if he gets going he could be trouble for us.)
This will be the most challenging season opener for us under the Nick Saban era. How do you see the game going? I see it like the our Clemson game in where we won the 2015 national title. I think it will be a tough, back and forth game. I think it will be tight until very late in the 4th quarter. I believe we will win by 3-7 points. I certainly hope Hurts can hit the long passes consistently.
So, what are your thought on tonight's game?

Nervous, but confident. We know FSU is going to throw everything they can at Bama, and might make a that one drive early on that will result in points. But we all know what happens after Bama gets comfortable and punches back. The real test will be how FSU responds.

Confident last week. Nervous today. If we can run for over 200 and play elite defense I like our chances.

I'll be honest, I'm really nervous. If you look back at Saban's career, he doesn't have a gaudy record against teams who equal his in talent. FSU is one of those teams. Saban is great when he can out-athlete you. When the teams are equal or near equal in terms of stars, he gets outcoached more than we care to admit. Here's to hoping that FSU still has OL problems and that Francois doesn't have deer antler spray.

Nervous, not very confident that they will be able to run the ball well.
Probably the best team we play in the regular season.

Yep. I think our front 7 will be good this year. Probably not as good as last year's defense; but, still pretty darn good.
I just get nervous about our secondary (seems like this is the weak spot in our defense every year.) Chad Kelly & Deshaun Watson torched them last season. Hopefully they will be much improved this year.

Ready to see Bama won by 14 plus.
Most of the matchups favor Bama.
As long as Bo doesn't get hurt, he will dominate. He is a game breaker.

My younger brother just graduated earlier this year from FSU with his master's degree; I feel your pain!
Bama is my alma mater so I am giving my little brother a hard time (in a good natured way.) If we lose tonight I'll never hear the end of it from him.

I would love to see us run for over 200 yards. That would certainly wear down FSU's defense.

We will find out tonight what kind of defense we will have this season. FSU is going to try and take it to us.

We win by 14+.
I feel good.

When was the last time we failed to run for 200+?

I mean yeah, it's always a 50/50 when playing ones equal counterpart lol.

Well considering FSU will be one of the best if not best team we play all regular season, I'm pretty nervous. I think this year's defense will be closer to 2013 and '14 caliber than '15 or '16. A lot depends on how good that OL is and how much Hurts has improved.

Can Jalen pass? That's the question.
If Jalen struggles, don't rule Tua out
