OUR PREDICTION: Florida State couldn’t score on Alabama, so how is Fresno State, a 1-11 team a year ago, going to accomplish the feat? Plus, Jalen Hurts and the Tide offense looked like it still has plenty to work on following last week’s victory over FSU. Granted, the Bulldogs don’t pose anywhere near the challenge that the Seminoles do defensively, but this is also a letdown spot for ‘Bama. I think Fresno State struggles against Bama’s defense, and I think the Crimson Tide sleepwalk through this one.
