Florida State University's quarterback, Tommy Castellanos, boldly predicted a victory over No. 8 Alabama, and his team delivered a stunning 31-17 upset. Castellanos's performance, including 78 rushing yards and a touchdown, led the Seminoles to their first top-10 win of the season and ended Alabama's 23-game season-opening win streak. Castellanos praised his teammates and the supportive fans, whose energy significantly impacted the game. The win marks a remarkable turnaround for FSU after a dismal 2024 season and sets high expectations for their future.
