Florida State, for the first time since 2014 when the Seminoles took part in the first-ever four-team playoff, advanced to 11-0 (8-0 ACC) when it took down the North Alabama Lions in its home finale.
The 58-13 win saw the Seminoles win its 17th game in a row but lose Jordan Travis, the quarterback who helped engineer that streak and FSU’s turnaround in the Mike Norvell era, to a season-ending leg injury on a scramble in the first quarter.
Redshirt junior Tate Rodemaker, who replaced Travis in a comeback win over Louisville last season, had 13 completions, 217 yards, and tied a career-high with two touchdowns in the win before being replaced by freshman Brock Glenn with the game decided.
