Former Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis trolled Alabama and the SEC as a whole following the Seminoles’ win Saturday. FSU took down the Crimson Tide 31-17.

Not only did current quarterback Thomas Castellanos practically guarantee that he and the squad would beat Alabama, it was one of the biggest statements made during the weekend. Travis, who medically retired from football, certainly kicked back and enjoyed the win.

“SEC … (laughing emojis),” Travis wrote on Twitter/X. Sounds like the former Florida State was really happy Saturday night!

The standout transfer was instrumental in the Seminoles’ 31-17 win over No. 8 Alabama. After the game, Castellanos reflected on the jaw-dropping victory, likely garnering praise from Travis as well.

“There’s a reason why I came here. That’s one of the reasons why I came here, for moments like these and days like these,” Castellanos said. “We got a long season ahead — just take it one week at a time and just keep climbing.”

In June, Castellanos made headlines when he didn’t back down from the Week 1 challenge against Alabama: “They don’t have Nick Saban to save them. I just don’t see them stopping me.”

While pundits around the country laughed at Castellanos at the time, the Boston College transfer had the last laugh on Saturday. In the win, Castellanos completed 9-of-his-14 pass attempts for 152 yards, without throwing an interception.

However, where Castellanos really shined, was in the ground game. He finished the game with 16 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown. He never fumbled.

It was a breath of fresh air for the Seminoles, who entered last season as the ACC favorite, only to finish the year with a 2-10 record. Now, Florida State is officially back in the national conversation and Castellanos couldn’t be more thankful.
