Alabama’s 14-point loss to Florida State featured a few miniature flashes of what the Crimson Tide can do with Ryan Grubb as the offensive coordinator and Kane Wommack as a second-year defensive coordinator, but there are some issues the Crimson Tide has yet to nip in the bud.

The Crimson Tide are now 5-5 in the last ten games the team has played, and there is no mundane mix of words that can justify why Alabama has not fixed certain issues that plagued the team in 2024.

Road game Preparation and Performance
