Alabama's Defense vs Daniels' Legs | Huntsville News

Alabama’s defense is gearing up for a high-stakes Saturday showdown against Florida State, with their focus squarely on stopping dual-threat quarterback Ashton Daniels. Known for his explosive legs and growing confidence since transferring to FSU, Daniels proved his mettle in last year’s Iron Bowl and delivered a standout performance against Kentucky with 12 tackles and 2 sacks. Alabama linebacker Caleb Woodson, who’s faced FSU twice before, admits this will be his first time confronting Daniels—and he’s stressing the need to contain his mobility. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack echoed that urgency, calling Daniels a physical, experienced runner who thrives under pressure. With FSU likely to bring fresh wrinkles to their offense after a bye week, Alabama knows shutting down Daniels’ running game could be the key to victory. Game time: 2:30 PM ET on ABC.
