Stunning Spiral Continues: Takeaways From Memphis' Win Over FSU

Memphis' Tigers Extend Their Winning Streak to Four Games, Upsetting No. 13 Florida State

The Memphis Tigers continued their impressive start to the season with a stunning 31-24 upset victory over No. 13 Florida State on Saturday. The win marked Memphis' fourth consecutive victory and improved their record to 4-0 on the season.

The Tigers' offense was led by quarterback Seth Henigan, who threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Brandon Thomas also had a strong game, rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown.

The Memphis defense was impressive in the win, holding Florida State to just 24 points and forcing three turnovers. Linebacker Xavier Cullens led the Tigers' defense with 10 tackles, while cornerback Quindell Johnson had two interceptions.

Takeaways From the Game

There were several key takeaways from Memphis' upset victory over Florida State:

• The Tigers' offense is capable of putting up points against anyone. Henigan is a rising star at quarterback, and he has a lot of weapons to work with in the passing game. Thomas is also a dangerous runner, and he can help take the pressure off of Henigan.
• The Memphis defense is much improved from last season. The Tigers are playing with more confidence and aggression, and they are making big plays. Cullens is a force in the middle of the defense, and Johnson is a playmaker in the secondary.
• The Tigers are a legitimate contender in the AAC. Memphis has a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, and they are playing with a lot of confidence. If they can continue to play at this level, they could be a dark horse in the conference championship race.

Looking Ahead

Memphis will look to continue their winning streak next week when they host Navy. The Midshipmen are 2-2 on the season, but they are always a tough opponent. Memphis will need to play their best game of the season if they want to extend their winning streak to five games.
