FSU football: 2024 Game-by-game predictions and win shares
By Kelvin Hunt
Vs. Memphis on September 14th
The Memphis Tigers will travel to Doak Campbell Stadium with hopes to upset its former coach, Mike Norvell. It'll be their third game, and FSU will come into this game off a bye-week after playing Boston College. There are no betting odds, which is interesting, but many pundits favor Memphis as one of the top programs not in a major conference in 2024. They finished the season as the No. 56 team via FEI. They had the No. 25 offense and the No. 99 defense.
They have their starting quarterback returning and their offense is their strength with a strong rushing attack, though it struggled against the good defenses they faced last year(which were not many). Like the first two teams, Memphis can't hold up in the trenches and it would take their quarterback playing out of his mind to have a shot to win the game (or FSU turning it over multiple times). Their defense hasn't improved enough to stop FSU. FSU wins this one 38-24 with a winning percentage of 80 percent.
