Alabama football suffered a shocking 31-17 upset loss to unranked Florida State, prompting Johnny Manziel to declare that teams are no longer fearing the Crimson Tide.
The Alabama Crimson Tide were shocked on Saturday afternoon, as the No. 8-ranked team fell to unranked Florida State, 31-17, to kick off the 2025 college football season.
The massive upset was a major storyline in college football, especially considering the fear factor the Crimson Tide have had over the sport for years.
But Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel said that general fear of Alabama is no more for the other programs they face on the schedule.
„In the past, you walk in facing an Alabama team, you probably got a little fear“, Manziel, who knows all about Alabama having played his college ball at Texas A&M, said on the „Nightcap Show“ with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson. „This is ‘Bama. The team has been a dynasty, you got a little fear. That fear aspect of what Alabama is – completely gone.
