TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis entered Friday night’s game against the Gators as one of the nation’s most underappreciated players.
Not anymore. With the Black Friday schedule all to himself, Travis rushed for a pair of first-half touchdowns and made multiple Houdini-like escapes to lead No. 16 FSU to a wild 45-38 win over Florida. The Seminoles (9-3) snapped a three-game losing streak and kept their Orange Bowl chances alive when Trey Benson rushed for his third touchdown of the night — a game-winner with 4:06 left.
Billy Napier ended his first year at Florida (6-6) by becoming the first coach in Gators history to lose to FSU, Tennessee and Georgia in the same season.
