As Travis was reaching the midfield line, teammates from North Alabama gathered around the tackle. He crashed to the ground and remained there, his leg twisted at an unnatural angle below him. Trainers raced to Travis right away, and the packed Florida State stadium became silent.

From his hospital bed on Sunday morning, Travis uploaded a video stating that he was doing OK.

“Just wanted to let you know I’m doing good, feeling good,” he said. “Got a smile on my face. Just gonna follow God’s plan. God has a journey for me. I’m gonna trust Him every step of the way. I appreciate y’all for all the messages. Go Noles.”

A serious injury sustained on Saturday has cast doubt on the winning squad.

The Seminoles are now a mystery after Travis, a quarterback who is a candidate for the Heisman Trophy, appeared to have suffered a serious leg injury during Florida State’s victory over North Alabama.

His wounds raise a lot of questions. On Saturday, Tate Rodemaker, Travis’ backup quarterback, did throw for 217 yards and two touchdowns, but it was against North Alabama. Rodemaker is a youngster who has had very little playing experience. Now that he has the keys, his team’s destiny will depend on how he performs over the next two weeks, assuming that unbeaten Florida State wins both games.

Travis has guided Florida State to the No. 4 rating and an unbeaten season. After beginning his career as a quarterback for the Florida State Wildcats, Travis is now in his sixth year and is considered one of the top signal-callers in the nation.

Travis had potential, and Norvell helped him develop into a full player by utilizing both his passing and rushing skills in 16 straight wins. Travis has passed for 2,734 yards this season, adding seven touchdowns on the ground in addition to 20 touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Travis injury might ultimately lead to a lot of options. The final three games, Georgia vs. Alabama on Saturday, Michigan vs. Ohio State on Saturday, and Oregon vs. Washington the following weekend, could not really be elimination matches after all.

especially if such games are close and contested. It’s simple to picture the committee selecting Ohio State, Michigan, or Georgia with only one defeat each. Texas, a one-loss team, shouldn’t be written out even if it prevails because of their significant road victory against Alabama in early September.

Travis’s injury caused a huge shift. In a way that no one could have predicted at the beginning of the day on Saturday, it altered Florida State’s season and the playoff landscape. There is now drama with the College Football Playoff and just a few weeks left in the regular season.
