The Florida State Seminoles will play the No. 10 Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium. It is one of Week 3's biggest games, and ESPN is sending one of its top announcing crews for the non-conference showdown.
Sean McDonough will be the play-by-play announcer with Greg McElroy serving as the color commentator, and Katie George reporting from the sideline. The game is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be on ABC.
The Seminoles will be looking to pull off the road upset, with ESPN's analytics heavily favoring the Crimson Tide. It is just the sixth time the two historic programs have faced off, with Alabama leading the series 3-1-1. FSU won the last meeting, beating them 31-17 last year in Tallahassee.
The two programs once
again appear headed in opposite directions, with FSU stumbling to a 1-1 record. Alabama is 2-0 and picked up a quality win last week over the Kentucky Wildcats, scoring the final 32 points to secure the blowout.
While FSU pulled off the stunning upset last year, it will be even harder this year. The Seminoles have not won a road game since 2023, and will not be able to sneak up on Alabama after last year's win.
