Jordan Travis reacts to Brock Glenn's first touchdown from hospital bed
The Florida State Seminoles suffered a major loss in Saturday night’s game against North Alabama, as star quarterback Jordan Travis went down with a gruesome leg injury. FSU was trailing North Alabama 13-0 after the first quarter, but they turned things on and in big way in the final three quarters, outscoring NAU 58-0 the rest of the way.
Third-string quarterback Brock Glenn even had his first touchdown as a Seminole. Travis still remained in good spirits from his hospital bed, posting his reaction to the Glenn score on his Instagram story.
Florida State ended up winning 58-13, in blowout fashion. They might have started out sluggish on Saturday night, but they piled on the points in the final three quarters.
Jameis Winston also shared a touching message for Travis
In the first half, shortly after the injury happened, former FSU legend Jameis Winston shared some touching words of support for Jordan Travis.
“Well, I just want to continue to encourage him to stay resilient and continue to persevere,” said Winston. “He was having one of the best years ever in college football and I’m grateful to be rocking his jersey.
“The significance of his number, with us winning the championship in 2013 and him being one of the best quarterbacks this year. Man, I just want to continue to lift him up. Keep your head [up] bro. Stand firm. Be strong, courageous.
“The Lord has a plan for you that nobody can ever even imagine. So, just stay resilient. He has done that. So, I know to him and his family. I just wanna pray for his family. He’s gonna be fine. I know he will.”
Travis has been the driving force behind Florida State’s undefeated season. Losing him would obviously be a massive loss. Backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker is currently in the game for the Seminoles.
Travis is currently in the ambulance and heading to the hospital in Tallahassee. More updates on his status will be provided as they come throughout the night.
North Alabama has come out early with upset on their minds. They’re currently trailing the Seminoles 17-13 with less than two minutes left in the first half.
Jameis Winston honoring the current Florida State QB
Former Florida State star quarterback Jameis Winston was the guest of honor for Saturday night’s contest against North Alabama. But upon his arrival, Winston was showing some love to the Seminoles’ current star signal caller, Jordan Travis.
Week 12’s game against North Alabama was the Florida State’s final home game of the season. It also served as Senior Day for the Seminoles’ departing players. Not only that, but the Florida State athletic department elected to honor Winston Saturday night, retiring his jersey, making this weekend a special occasion for Seminoles fans and players of both the past and present.
To celebrate the present, Winston showed up wearing Travis’s jersey, supporting the quarterback, who has a chance to join him as a national champion by the end of this season.
