There wasn't much flash or sizzle, but the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide opened their 2017 season with a workmanlike 24-7 win over the third-ranked Florida State Seminoles at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday night.
However, the Seminoles have more to worry about than a 0-1 start after quarterback Deondre Francois suffered an apparent left knee injury in the fourth quarter.
According to Tomahawk Nation's Andrew Miller, Francois was helped off the field and couldn't put any pressure on his left leg after he went down awkwardly. USA Today's Dan Wolken reported Francois' leg was later placed in an air cast.
