Alabama will open its 2025 season on the road for the first true road game of the 2025 college football season. It is the first time Alabama will open its season away from Tuscaloosa since 2021 against Miami in Atlanta, and the first road game Alabama will open its season with since 2020 when Alabama played Missouri.

Alabama will go to Florida State on August 30 to begin the 2025 college football season with a new quarterback after the departure of Jalen Milroe.

While the game is still 212 days away, Florida State already seems to be excited to open its season at home against Alabama following a 2-10 season in Mike Norvell's fourth year at Florida State. Norvell and the Seminoles will be antsy to prove 2024 was an outlier, and Florida State is closer to the 13-0 season it had in 2023 than the 2-10 season in 2024.

The trash talk has already started, with Florida State defensive end James WIlliams already talking about the Alabama game.

"I'm here to dominate against Alabama," Williams said in an interview on Thursday.

Williams, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive lineman from Kansas City, Missouri, transferred to Florida State in the 2024 winter transfer portal window. He played at Nebraska in 2023, totaling 18 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and seven sacks in 16 games (two seasons) with the Cornhuskers.

His best game came in 2024 against Rutgers, setting a career-high in tackles and sacks with five tackles and two sacks.

The 2025 season begins in 212 days for Alabama and Florida State.
