Apr 20, 2021 | Football
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers will take on the Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla., on Sept. 14, 2024, the two schools announced Tuesday.
Â
"We are very excited to be able to play Florida State in the future," Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield said. "Florida State is a program with great tradition, and we are looking forward to a great matchup with them. Memphis will always look to play other nationally recognized teams."
Â
Florida State of the ACC is currently coached by former Tigers head coach Mike Norvell. Norvell led Memphis from 2016-19, with Silverfield alongside him on the coaching staff in all four seasons. The Tigers went to four-straight bowl games, including the 2019 Cotton Bowl, under Norvell and Silverfield.
Â
Memphis and Florida State have played 18 times previously, with the Seminoles leading the all-time series, 10-7-1. The 2024 game will be the first between the two schools since 1990. The Tigers are 3-7 in 10 previous contests in Tallahassee.
Â
The game at Florida State joins a previously announced game against Troy on Memphis' 2024 non-conference schedule. The Trojans are scheduled to visit Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis on Sept. 7, 2024.
