There's a lot of good games scheduled for the 2017 season, but I don't think they get any bigger than FSU-BAMA
This game is going to be Massive, Game of the Century type stuff IMO....I really hope the polls are smart and have them as #1 and #2
Here's how I see each team:
ALABAMA - they've lost a TON of defensive stars to the NFL. They'll be able to replace them with top notch talent, but it always takes awhile to gel...IMO, the Alabama offense is actually set pretty well as we get a second year of Hurts, Scarborough, and I think Riley (??). But....Alabama has a new O. Coordinator so that's kind of a question mark. I expect Alabama to run, run, run to start. Gone is OJ Howard.
FSU - they lose Dalvin Cook and some WRs, like Travis Rudolph I think. But it's year 2 for Francois, and Jimbo knows how to run the offense. The weakness for FSU the last few years has been the defense, but they turned it around last year, and played dominant by the end of the season. Who returns on defense? I really don't have any idea....D. Walker on the line is gone, but I think they return most of the defense.
Alabama always struggles with passing teams, but they've got an offense that is going to be hard to stop. FSU lives for these type games, so they won't be intimidated....I don't know how it's going to turn out, but I'm expecting a classic.
