Joel Klatt predicts Alabama over Florida State: 'Easy one for me'.

Alabama · Florida State · SMU

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt doesn’t think... Plus, you don’t think there’s a motivation factor for the Crimson Tide when the Seminoles come to town?

“He’s explosive as a runner, he can throw the ball well, he throws it accurately. The only reason that game against SMU was close was the turnovers and the mistakes that SMU made, the only reason.

They’re not going to be able to run the football against that defense. “You might be thinking to yourself, like, well, couldn’t (Alabama) just have a little bit of a letdown?

Alabama might have some extra motivation when it comes to taking on Florida State this weekend. Keelon Russell might have took his lumps against Kentucky last week, but the Alabama QB should be in a better spot with an improved running game, which Klatt foresees.

KEY POINTS

  • What Klatt saw from Florida State against SMU can simply be described as fool’s gold.
  • I like everything about Keelon Russell, and now you get the Florida State team in here, they’re on a bit of a freefall right now.
  • “He’s a very clean quarterback, I like what I see from him,” Klatt said on his podcast Thursday.
  • SMU should have beat them by 20, 24 in that game, and FSU struggles to throw it.
