College football news: Trump references Alabama’s stunning upset loss
Trump Announces Space Command Move to Alabama Amid College Football Buzz
During a recent announcement about relocating the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama, President Donald Trump humorously referenced Alabama’s surprising loss to Florida State. While expressing gratitude towards Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his role in the move, Trump remarked on Tuberville’s coaching background, saying, “You’re not used to that,” in light of Alabama’s unexpected defeat.
In a light-hearted exchange, Tuberville highlighted Auburn’s recent victory over Baylor, sparking laughter from the gathered media. The stark contrast between the two universities’ performances on the same weekend was palpable. Auburn secured a 38-24 win over Baylor, marking a successful kickoff to their season, while Alabama faced criticism after the upset against Florida State, a team that had previously struggled with a dismal 2-10 record the prior season.
Florida State’s unexpected triumph has become one of the focal points in college football, especially given their prior challenges. This game marked a significant turnaround for the Seminoles, while Alabama, now under new leadership after the retirement of legendary coach Nick Saban, dropped to No. 21 in the AP poll. As Alabama prepares to face Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn looks to maintain its winning momentum against Ball State this Saturday.
