In the aftermath of the incident, no official diagnosis has been released regarding the extent of Jordan Travis’s injury. However, the severity of the situation was evident as Travis, was compelled to leave the field on a cart after receiving immediate attention from the team’s medical trainers. Every member of the Seminoles team stepped onto the field to express their support for their leader.
In the wake of Jordan Travis’s unfortunate exit due to injury, Tate Rodemaker Jr. stepped in to fill the crucial quarterback position for the Seminoles. At the time of this unexpected change, the Seminoles were trailing with a score of 13-0.
Prior to his departure, Travis had demonstrated his skills on the field, completing 2 out of 4 passes for a total of 21 yards. In addition to his passing contributions, he had also rushed for an additional 16 yards.
Upon taking over the reins, Rodemaker Jr. quickly adapted to the high-pressure situation. On his first drive in relief of Travis, he completed 2 out of 3 passes, covering a distance of 22 yards. This successful drive culminated in an FSU field goal, which helped to reduce the deficit to 10 points.
