Kalen DeBoer provided his early thoughts on Florida State while talking to reporters at a Team Focus fundraiser in Mobile.
The Crimson Tide kick off the 2025 season against Florida State in Tallahassee on Aug. 30. DeBoer feels Alabama will have to consider the changes the Florida State program has made within the last year when they gameplan for the Seminoles in the future.
“I know that they got a lot of change, defense, offensive coordinators,” DeBoer said. “Guys who are veterans that understand the game on a high level. We’ll dive into that this summer and figure out exactly how we want to approach that going into week one. That’s going to be a big one. We got to be on the road. We got to be better on the road than we were a year ago. So, that’s another piece to it, and that’s getting focusing on ourselves. But a lot of new players coming into their program and we’ll have to weigh all that and kind of sort through that as a coaching staff and then pass that on to our guys when it’s appropriate time.”
Alabama was defeated three times during the 2024 season, and all of those games were on the road.
A win against Florida State to open the season would be a great momentum builder for the Tide.
