Snap counts from FSU's loss to Alabama

The FSU Seminoles lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, causing their fans to once again call for Mike Norvell's job, despite him still having a record-setting buyout.

It was another disappointing showing from the defense, which allowed 567 yards of offense, including 247 on the ground. They started strong on third down and forced consecutive three-and-outs to start the game, but things turned, and Alabama scored on their final nine drives of the game to win 50-36.

The offense finally found some success throwing the ball, with Ashton Daniels completing 17 of his 29 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw three interceptions. Duce Roinson had his best game of the season, catching six passes for a season-high 135 yards and a touchdown.

FSU overhauled its roster over the offseason, and 31 of the 62 players they have used this season were making their debut for the Seminoles. The latest two were true freshmen Tre Bell III and Franklin Whitley, who both played on special teams in the game.

With 67 plays on offense and 68 on defense, here is a look at the complete snap count for the Seminoles, via Pro Football Focus.
