I thought Texas looked ELITE with the exception of the guy under center.

Doak campbell rocking is a cool thing - have to keep ‘em out of the end zone here.

i don’t buy Texas, like at all, I’ve been wondering how anyone has them preseason 1,… however they looked pretty good. Not sure about the offensive weapons, even outside of qb, but they hung in there pretty well

I’m going to be in the minority, but Florida State being solid is good for college football. Chief Osceola. Warchant. The spear. Hate them when we play them, but other than that…let ‘em get back close to what they were. I grew up with my high school program using the warchant and we had spears on our helmet, so I’ll always have an affinity for FSU.

Bama seeing another spread option with a overconfident but effective QB after Vandy last year

Think FSU will be fun this year. Defense looks soft but the o-line looks solid and Castellanos is a playmaker

Castellanos + Malzahn might end up being pretty nice for FSU

The thing right now is they believe they are good (still). Castellanos isn’t exactly known as the best locker room guy nor is most of the FSU roster. So once this season goes south, it probably will be fast again. But for now, they think they are gonna win.

Tessatore must have something going on re FSU. He’s pretty overtly rooting for them
So glad he’s not doing our game. No doubt he’d be loving Miami

Wasn't he doing the execution game? One of the most annoying announcers possible for this sort of game. It's like he calls every underdog game thinking "today is the day the world will remember that I, Joe Tessatore, made a great call in this major upset."

Tess has a great voice and calls a decent game. The problem is that he is always looking to leave an indelible mark on every game he calls and great broadcasters just let it come to them.

I’m not positive how good Thomas Castellanos actually is…but I love that dude’s stones.

Alabama gave up 125 yards rushing in the first half.

The Saban effect appears to be wearing off. Alabama just doesn't look at all impressive. One team is grounding and pounding it and taking advantage of the weather, the other is Alabama.
