Florida State opens the 2024 season Saturday at 7:00 PM EDT against New Mexico State at Doak Campbell Stadium, and if you know anything about season openers in Tallahassee, you know the energy hits different when the sun goes down.
Both teams enter at 0-0, which means everything from here is unwritten. For the Seminoles, this is the first impression — the moment a locker room full of new faces and returning leaders gets to show what they've built through fall camp. For the Aggies, it's a chance to walk into one of college football's grandest venues and swing with nothing to lose.
That's the beauty of Week 1. No film to study, no tendencies to exploit — just two teams lining up and finding out who they are. Tune in for the atmosphere at Doak Campbell, stay for the answers.
