We continue to preview the Mustangs upcoming opponents with their most important game in decades
DALLAS – In 17 short days, SMU will officially join the Atlantic Coast Conference and begin it’s most important season since Eric Dickerson and Craig James were at SMU.
The Mustangs will once again square off against the nation’s best teams throughout the season and that starts with SMU’s first-ever ACC game against Florida State. Joining the ACC puts the Mustangs into a Power 5 Conference, but there aren’t too many better than Florida State. Here’s an early look at the Seminoles as we continue to preview SMU’s opponents for the upcoming season.There are several question marks around Florida State’s offense, but not in the trenches. The Seminoles return a group of offensive linemen with 190 combined starts, but lost their starting quarterback, leading rusher, their two leading receivers and most productive tight end.
Florida State brought in Oregon State transfer DJ Uiagalelei to play quarterback and also gave him some additional weapons to use. Receivers Malik Benson and Jalen Brown arrive in Tallahasee via the transfer portal. Both figure to be a big part of Florida State’s upcoming season.While the Seminoles’ offense has plenty of answers to come up with, the defense doesn’t have as many. They did lose some key contributors from last season, but there’s enough returning talent to improve upon the 331.
