The drive was already another massive momentum swing for Florida State. Having the score come from a defensive player only adds to that. With time winding down in the fourth, the Seminoles have now regained their double-digit lead against LSU in New Orleans.
WATCH: Ali Gaye ejected on targeting penalty following Jordan Travis touchdown pass
Florida State stretched their lead over LSU after an incredible touchdown from Jordan Travis. During the play, he was hit in the head by a targeting penalty. Travis delivered a perfect throw into the end zone to receiver Ontaria “Pokey” Wilson who made a brilliant one-handed catch. During the throw, Travis took a hit directly to his head from LSU defender Ali Gaye.
Travis immediately called for a flag on the play as he felt the hit, and replay shows Gaye leave his feet as he launched himself into Travis. Meanwhile, Wilson was in the end zone making a phenomenal catch of his own for the second Florida State touchdown of the game.
Officials attempted to unravel penalties that occurred during the play, and ultimately there were three separate flags thrown. LSU committed defensive pass interference on the touchdown catch, which was declined by the Seminoles resulting in a confirmed touchdown. Wilson also committed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the score, his first of the game. LSU was also flagged for roughing the passer with a targeting call, which would be upheld after review — resulting in Gaye’s ejection.
