Fourth-year starting quarterback Seth Henigan took what the defense gave him against Troy and didn\u2019t try to force the issue. Henigan completed 20 of 32 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-seth-henigan-interview-heisman-hype-memphis-qb-mnmn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Henigan has enjoyed a storied career at Memphis.<\/a> With the Tigers, he has completed 64% of his passes for 10,835 yards, 80 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/seth_henigan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Seth_henigan<\/a> is now 2nd all-time in school history for the most passing touchdowns \ud83d\ude4c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ALLIN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ALLIN<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ESPNCFB<\/a><br><br>\ud83d\udcfa | <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/u1rIY7wtxj\">https:\/\/t.co\/u1rIY7wtxj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dnI8r2bPXZ\">pic.twitter.com\/dnI8r2bPXZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Memphis Football (@MemphisFB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MemphisFB\/status\/1832483016012071004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 7, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Against Troy, Memphis rushed for 211 yards and four touchdowns, led by Mario Anderson (17 carries for 125 yards and two scores).

Uiagalelei has also not been a factor in the running game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what has hurt Florida State is the ground game. The Seminoles are averaging just 2.5 yards per carry. The leading receiver is Ja\u2019Khi Douglas, who has eight receptions for 121 yards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On defense, the pass rush has not hit its stride with only three sacks in two games. What has also been alarming is that the Seminoles have given up 226.5 rushing yards per game, which is 122nd nationally. Teams are averaging 5.1 yards per carry against the Seminoles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensive back Shyheim Brown is FSU\u2019s leading tacker with 21.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/betmgm-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"147\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"promo-page-banner\" title=\"PROMO-BANNER-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-300x41.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-768x105.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-1024x139.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-750x102.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-memphis-vs-florida-state-prediction\">Memphis vs. Florida State Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I like taking Memphis and the points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It won\u2019t be easy because Florida State is desperate to turn its season around. Plus, the Seminoles would have had 11 full days off, so they are going to be well rested. Still, Memphis has had high expectations and rightly so. While Henigan gives the Tigers the edge at quarterback, the key will actually be their ability to run the ball. FSU hasn\u2019t shown it can stop the run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memphis is averaging 4.9 yards per carry, and if the Tigers can sustain that number, they should be very competitive with Florida State. Even with the bad first two games by FSU, nobody expects an easy contest against the Seminoles. Yet Memphis will get a chance to show why the Tigers were <a href=\"https:\/\/theamerican.org\/news\/2024\/7\/19\/football-memphis-is-the-favorite-in-2024-american-preseason-media-poll.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made a prohibitive favorite in the preseason AAC media poll.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norvell, who was Memphis\u2019 head coach for four years before coming to FSU prior to the 2020 season, understands a win over a well-respected team such as the Tigers could help turn the season around. Memphis, on the other hand, is looking to keep rolling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a key stat? Try third-down conversions. FSU has been just 8 for 26 (30.77%). Memphis is 10 for 19 (52.63%).
