Alabama Offensive Coordinator Apologizes for Criticizing Fans After Slow Start Against Florida State
- Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb criticized fans Monday for booing during Saturday's 50-36 comeback victory over Florida State, arguing his 19-year-old players showed more resilience than the crowd during the team's early deficit.
- Trailing 21-6 during the first half, Alabama rallied for a comeback victory at Bryant-Denny Stadium despite two lightning delays, though the Crimson Tide struggled early, failing to score on its first two drives before surging.
- Quarterback Keelon Russell paced the offense, completing 23-of-30 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns, as the unit piled up 567 total yards and outscored Florida State 24-15 in the second half.
- Social media users countered the coordinator's remarks, with one fan arguing that booing targeted the play calling rather than the players, while others described the coach's comments as painting the fanbase as the enemy.
- The 3-0 Tide will host South Carolina on Saturday before entering a challenging five-game stretch against ranked opponents, as the team aims to address persistent slow starts that have characterized their performance through the first three games.
