The "Tide" defense was not top-ten quality in this game. FSU ran out the clock on them. They had a 4th and 1 at the Bama 31 with two minutes left. I was wondering what FSU might do. That's a 48-yard field goal from there. On the other hand, if they went for it and Bama stuffed them, stranger things have happened than two TDs in two minutes. Kalen DeBoer called timeout. And Florida State ran it right up the gut for two yards and the first down.

FT FSU 31 Bama (8) 17
You can lose by 14 when a 13.5 favorite some places, but Alabama is not one of them.
