narrow win over noles in 2020 opener

YEAR 15 WIN #155

since I’m Chasing Bowden’s record, I might as well do a brief timeline on Florida State

1835 – Chief Osceola amd friends kill General Wiley Thompson, the US House rep from Georgia, in charge of removing the Seminoles from Florida

1946-48 – Birmingham native Bobby Bowden plays QB for the Crimson Tide

1976 – Bowden takes head coaching job at FSU

1988- Music Video of the year, actually….. Century comes out

1993 – After 18 years, Bowden wins first National Title. (I guess there is some hope for Namath in my Dynasty)

1995 – Randy Moss kicked out of FSU for smoking pot. Worse move ever (I can’t believe I found this pic)

2005 – ABC cameras pan to Jenn Sterger and friends during Miami / florida State game

2017 – In my Dynasty FSU steals star Qb Charles Jefferson of Pelham, AL

219 – Jefferson leads Noles to a 12-2 record and wins a Heisman as a 3rd year SO

2020 – Week 1 Game of the week pits #22 BAMA vs. #15 FSU

Anyways I’ll make this quick because I’m tired. I switched to the WVU playbook rather than my Melting Pot Offense (a mix of plays from WVU, USC & UF) and its pretty sweet. With all starting lineman back from 2019 Bama’s focused its game on the run. QB Leon Frazier was clutch, making very few mistakes and rushing for two TDs, while Junior Williams was a beast on the ground with 168 yards and two TDs. 2019 Heisman winner Jefferson was tough in his homecoming passing for 330 yards and 3 TDs, but Frazier and Williams controlled the clock to keep down FSU’s momentum. The ball control planned worked (60% of the plays were runs) . The result: A 3 point Tide victory!!!

Alabama 31, Florida State 28
