The story of Florida State's improvement in 2023 starts and ends with quarterback Jordan Travis.
As the Seminoles progressed from a 10-3 team to a 10-0 team, Travis improved from a good quarterback into a Heisman contender. He entered Saturday having thrown 20 touchdowns against just two interceptions on the season.
However, Travis exited Florida State's game against North Alabama Saturday in catastrophic fashion. The Seminoles signal-caller appeared to suffer a severe lower-body injury on a hip-drop tackle, and was taken out of Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee in an ambulance.
