I wrote before the Alabama-Florida State game that the Crimson Tide had all the pressure on them to win. Fast forward to a couple of days after a 31-17 upset beatdown, and Kalen Deboer was already on the hot seat with the fans and media.
Deboer had to answer questions from the media, and it was not pretty for Deboer as he struggled to put sentences together:

It’s the third game that Deboer has lost where the Crimson Tide were over 13-point betting favorites.
