Summary
320 passing yards, 56 rushing yards and four total touchdowns powered Alabama past Florida State after the No. 10 Crimson Tide trailed by 15 points in the second quarter.
Russell flipped the game in a 2:36 burst before halftime, scoring three touchdowns to give Alabama an unlikely lead, then added a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to create the decisive cushion.
The performance stood out on a chaotic Week 3 slate that also saw Kentucky beat No. 9 Texas A&M, Louisville top No. 16 SMU and Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss spark a 17-0 halftime lead on No. 7 LSU.
Week 3 also produced one of the weekend's biggest collapses when NC State, protecting a three-point lead, fumbled into its own end zone with 1 second left and handed Vanderbilt a 35-31 win.
