I felt so weak by hearing that he is badly injured…
It’s possible that never has a huge win felt like more of a loss in the history of Florida State football than Saturday’s 58-13 win over North Alabama.
That’s because star quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Travis received a gruesome ankle injury and had to be carted off of the field in a leg cast. There was no official word on his position for the rest of the season as of Sunday night, but this doesn’t look good for the Seminoles.
At the very least, it would be a miracle of Travis can play in Saturday’s rivalry battle at Florida and in the following week’s ACC championship game against Louisville.
If somehow Florida State can survive both of those games, then there might be chance that Travis can return in January for a College Football Playoff semifinal, if of course Florida State makes it that far.
In the meantime, Florida State will likely pin its hopes on its defense, running game and backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker to handle the load in the absence of Travis.
It will likely be the “Backup Quarterback Bowl” in Gainesville on Saturday when Florida State and Florida hook up.
In addition to Travis, Florida starting quarterback Graham Mertz likely also will be sitting the game after suffering a broken collarbone in a 33-31 loss to Missouri.
