Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos talked a big game but backed it up against Alabama. Now, Pat McAfee is poking some fun at Nick Saban over Alabama’s loss at previously unranked Florida State.
During the Week 2 edition of ESPN’s College GameDay, McAfee was breaking down tape of Castellanos’s alongside Saban. As the segment ended, McAfee hit the legendary coach with some good ol’ fashioned trolling.
“Kalen DeBoer is wondering, this guy ain’t supposed to talk [expletive] to us and then come in and steamroll us!” McAfee said. “And Nick, you weren’t there to save them buddy.”
During the offseason, Castellanos warned that Saban couldn’t save Alabama and that proved to be true. Saban is still riding with DeBoer despite the stunning loss. However, DeBoer is getting plenty of criticism and boosters feeling restless, to the extent he had to release a message.
It’s a new world for Alabama since Saban’s retirement and the playing field is certainly leveled.
Alabama will aim to get its first victory of the season when it hosts UL Monroe in Week 2 in its home opener. UL Monroe vs. Alabama is set to kick off at 7:45 p.m. ET and will be televised on the SEC Network.
