The Seminoles (1-1) fired athletic director Michael Alford, and speculation over Norvell's job is boiling over. It adds an extra layer of chaos to FSU's trip to face the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. Last season, FSU stunned Alabama when it came to Tallahassee in week one, but signs seem to point in the opposite direction for this year's clash.
The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on ABC. The Tallahassee Democrat will provide live updates from Bryant-Denny Stadium, follow along!
