Memphis vs Florida State score today: Live updates, highlights from ...

Memphis football has finally arrived at the Florida State game.

Fans have been waiting all offseason for the chance to see the Tigers (2-0) face off against former Memphis coach Mike Norvell and the Seminoles (0-2). Though Florida State has had a disappointing start to the season, the Seminoles are still favored over the Tigers for Saturday's game at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.

Game week has been dominated by plenty of talk about the relationships between the two programs, specifically with Norvell and Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield. They worked together for years and helped build the Memphis program, but they'll now square off against each other for the first time.

Saturday is also a chance for Memphis to get a signature win in what it hopes will be a College Football Playoff-caliber resume.

The Seminoles added a field goal to make it 20-12 with 8:07 to play.

Memphis drove across midfield, but Justin Cryer picked off Seth Henigan on third down to get FSU the ball back.

FSU's first offensive play of the second half was a long completion from Uiagalelei to Malik Benson. It was the first long pass play of the game for the Seminoles, who scored on a Roydell Williams rush two plays later.

It was a methodical drive for Memphis to start the second half. The Tigers went 75 yards in 11 plays to take a 20-3 lead. Henigan found Anthony Landphere for the touchdown.

The Tigers turned the Florida State muffed punt into three points, and they'll get the ball first after halftime.

A bizarre play ended up going in Memphis' favor. A Florida State player got blocked into the punt returner, and Colby Cox recovered the ensuing fumble.

Memphis went for it on fourth down near midfield and didn't get it. Florida State didn't move the ball far, but the Seminoles gained enough yardage to set up a Ryan Fitzgerald 54-yard field goal.

A long completion to Roc Taylor helped bring the Tigers near the end zone, and then Henigan connected with Greg Desrosiers for a touchdown on third and goal. Memphis has a 10-0 lead.

The Florida State offense has been ineffective to start the game, and Uiagalelei lofted a ball up in the middle of the field on a third and long. Tahj Ra-El picked it off for Memphis.

Uiagalelei is 5-of-6 for 7 yards and an interception so far.

Seminoles running back Roydell Williams fumbled on the second play of the game, and Chandler Martin recovered it. That led to a field goal from Caden Costa that gave the Tigers the lead.
