Key Stats
Memphis Tigers
The Memphis Tigers enter 2-0, averaging 39.0 points per game this season. Running Back Mario Anderson leads the team in rushing, scoring four touchdowns and averaging 85.5 yards per game. QB Seth Henigan is averaging 234.5 passing yards per game and is completing 70.0% of his passes. He has thrown three touchdowns without an interception to start the season.
Wide reciever Roc Taylor has tallied 114 receiving yards with nine receptions. Defensively, Memphis has a pair of interceptions, four sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles. They are allowing 8.5 points per game.
Florida State Seminoles
The Florida State Seminoles are coming off the worst start to a season and look like a completely different team than the ACC Champions a year ago. FSU is 0-2 and looking at a completely lost season right now. Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is 40-of-69 (58.0%) and has thrown for 465 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Running back Rodydell Williams has 15 rushing attempts for 48 yards and one touchdown on the season while adding five receptions for 46 yards. Wide receiver Ja'Khi Douglas has eight receptions for 121 yards, but has failed to find the end zone thus far. FSU is only averaging 17.0 points a game this season.
Prediction
It is safe to say Florida State has not lived up to expectations this season after coming off an undefeated season last year. FSU has lost to Georgia Tech and Boston College. They are now playing their third game against the Memphis Tigers. If FSU has any hope this season to turn things around they need to start now. Meanwhile, Memphis has been rolling at 2-0 on the season beating North Alabama and Troy.
even though FSU is favored in this matchup to Memphis, I'm going with the upset that the Tigers come to Tallahassee and get the victory over the Seminoles. Florida State has a lot of issues on offense and quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has not looked good in his last two games.
Final Pick
Memphis Tigers (+210)
