After Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos decided to trash <\/a>talk Alabama football<\/a> earlier this week, one of the Crimson Tide\u2019s other opponents is taking the opposite tact.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the Zach Gelb Show<\/a>, South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers made it clear that he still respects the Tide.<\/p>\n

\u201cShoot, Alabama\u2019s still Alabama to me,\u201d Sellers said. \u201cThey were good last year. They\u2019re a good team. They\u2019re big, strong and fast. That\u2019s how I remember watching them growing up, and I don\u2019t really think they\u2019ve changed that much. Obviously they\u2019ve got a new coaching staff and all that, but that\u2019s still SEC ball, that\u2019s still Alabama.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sellers got to see Kalen DeBoer\u2019s Alabama up close last season. The Gamecocks lost a nailbiter in Bryant-Denny Stadium, and almost certainly would have made the College Football Playoff if they had beaten the Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n

The QB threw for 238 yards, two touchdowns and a costly interception last year in Tuscaloosa. He and South Carolina will see the Tide in Columbia this season.<\/p>\n

Sellers comments come after Castellanos, who joined Florida State as a transfer from Boston College this offseason, disparaged Alabama in an interview with On3.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited, man,\u201d Castellanos told On3<\/a>. \u201cPeople, I don\u2019t know if they know, but you go back and watch every first game that I played in, we always start fast. I dreamed of moments like this. I dreamed of playing against Alabama. They don\u2019t have Nick Saban to save them. I just don\u2019t see them stopping me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Crimson Tide will likely be favored against the Seminoles to open the season. FSU struggled last year, finishing 2-10, with just one win over an FBS opponent, a one-score victory over Cal.<\/p>\n

Alabama will begin preseason camp in early August. The Crimson Tide will make the trip to Tallahassee to face Florida State on Aug. 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos decided to trash talk Alabama football earlier this week, one of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[405,2034,7,49,48,326,1686,9],"class_list":{"0":"post-156811","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-alabama-football","9":"tag-fbc","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football","13":"tag-sec","14":"tag-south-carolina","15":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114742852357052889","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
