Michael Carroll expected to return for Alabama against Florida State

Alabama right guard Michael Carroll is expected to play on Saturday against Florida State after missing last weekend's game due to an undisclosed injury. Carroll, a freshman All-America pick last season, has resumed practicing with the team. Florida State poses a challenge with their running game, having rushed for 230 yards in last year's matchup against Alabama, a game the Crimson Tide lost. Maintaining defensive discipline will be crucial for Alabama as they look to improve upon last year's performance against the Seminoles.
