Memphis Year 1-2

Memphis had continuity at quarterback, with Riley Ferguson returning for his senior year in 2017. They had similar continuity at running back, wide receiver, and tight end, which helped their offense take a leap in production in year two.

Here’s how the two years stack up in these key areas:

2016 Memphis

  • Points per game: 38.8
  • Yards per Play: 6.25
  • Rushing yards per attempt: 4.25
  • Third down conversions: 40.51 percent
  • Red zone TD: 63.64 percent

2017 Memphis

  • Points per game: 45.5
  • Yards per Play: 7.35
  • Rushing yards per attempt: 5.66
  • Third down conversions: 40.71 percent (26 fewer third-down opportunities)
  • Red zone TD: 70.97 percent

There are sizable improvements in every major offensive category. Let’s take a look at what FSU football brought to the table in a COVID-affected first year.
