FSU vs SMU: Can They Avoid Last Year's Mistake | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State kicks off their season against ranked SMU in a high-stakes showdown on Monday night, aiming to bounce back from last year’s home loss to a top opponent. FSU showed promise in their opener with a solid run game led by Ousmane Kromah, who powered for over 100 yards and sealed the win. But SMU, a 3-point favorite with a -150 moneyline, brings a dynamic offense spearheaded by QB Kevin Jennings — despite his penchant for interceptions — and a defense that gives up yards but holds up against the run. The over/under is set at 53.5, hinting at a close, competitive battle. Analysts split: some see SMU pulling out a win with flawless execution from FSU’s defense and QB, while others believe FSU’s ground game could be too much. Expect fireworks as FSU faces a tougher test — this one airs on ESPN and ACC Network at 7:30 PM ET, streaming on Fubo.
