Seminoles Face Crucial SMU Test | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State’s season opener against New Mexico State showed promise but also exposed critical flaws—sloppy play and a lack of dominance. Now, they face a stern test against SMU, a team led by standout QB Kevin Jennings and coached by Rhett Lashley. With SMU favored by 2.5 points, expect a tight, high-stakes battle. FSU’s defensive struggles—especially pressure on the QB and communication breakdowns in the secondary—could be exploited by Jennings. Their third-down woes add risk, though hope lies in their solid running game and potential vulnerabilities in SMU’s shifting defensive line. Still, with SMU’s superior quarterback and coaching, the edge leans toward them—even if FSU fans dream of an upset.
