It didn't take long for Nick Saban to show his frustration with what he saw out of the Alabama football team in the Week 1 loss to Florida State. You just knew Saban was going to be asked about the game while he was on with ESPN leading up to Bill Belichick's debut with North Carolina.
So, what was it that bothered Saban about the performance to start the 2025 season? It was no question the fact that the Seminoles, who entered the game as 14-point underdogs, dominated the battle in the trenches. Yup, the Florida State offensive line was superior and its defensive line looked stellar too.
