WHAT IS AT STAKE?

The enthusiasm for SMU's first Atlantic Coast Conference game isn't quite what was expected. Prior to the Mustangs' first ACC season, Florida State was ranked 10th and had a 17-game winning streak in the regular season. The Seminoles barely avoided bringing an 0-4 record to Dallas, scoring a touchdown early in the fourth quarter in a 14-9 victory over California last week. The preference for SMU shows that the Mustangs can be competitive in their return to a power conference after winning the American Athletic title last season. They also earned a 66-42 victory over TCU.

KEY MATCHUP

SMU QB Kevin Jennings vs. Florida State pass rush. The Mustangs traded Jennings in Week 3 in a loss to BYU because he is more mobile than incumbent starter Preston Stone. SMU expects Jennings to stick around in his first start against TCU, in part because the Seminoles rank seventh nationally with 13 sacks.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Florida State: QB DJ Uiagalelei has yet to lead the offense to 300 total yards in a game in his Florida State debut after stints at Clemson and Oregon State. The Seminoles rank 126th out of 133 FCS teams in offense with 276.5 yards per game.

SMU: RB Brashard Smith rushed for 127 yards and a career-best three touchdowns while adding 24 yards receiving with a touchdown against TCU. The Miami transfer recorded another career high with 190 all-purpose yards.

FACTS & FIGURES

It's not often that a team plays its conference opener while its opponent is playing a game in the fourth division.

Florida State's only non-conference game was a 20-12 loss to Memphis… The Seminoles still have an intact streak: They have won seven straight true road games. … Florida State will face a team making its ACC debut for the second straight year after defeating Cal. … The Mustangs had touchdown returns on an interception, a fumble and a punt against TCU. … SMU's Collin Rogers was tied for the national lead with 11 field goals to start the week. In the last two weeks he has had eight.
