FSU football will return to action next Saturday, looking to turn the page on the 2024 season. They will have a monster task hosting one of the most talented teams in college football, Alabama.

FSU enters the game as nearly two-touchdown betting underdogs, but it’s not like the Crimson Tide doesn’t have big question marks.

They have little experience at the quarterback position, and FSU has a new defensive coordinator with a lot of new faces on his defense in Tallahassee.

There’s no question that FSU will be an improved team over last year. The question is how much better? They’ve made improvements in several areas on and off the field. Most things seem better on paper, but there’s no way to know how things will unfold until they get some snaps under their belt.

I’d caution FSU fans not to pass too much judgment from this first game. We saw FSU play better than expected in 2021 and lay an egg a few weeks later. I’m comfortable with several areas of the team before I see a snap. However, here are some unanswered questions one week away from the Alabama game.
