Florida State was approaching a dire situation.

Down 14-0 to FCS-opponent Jacksonville State, the Seminole offense had mustered just one drive past midfield and only 55 total yards midway through the second quarter.

As they did against Georgia Tech and Miami, the FSU coaching staff turned to redshirt sophomore quarterback Jordan Travis to try his hand directing the flailing unit. Unlike the first two games this season when he was only granted a few package plays, against the Gamecocks, Travis was given the keys to the offense.

It only took the dual-threat playmaker a few snaps to rev the car up and ignite the engine in Mike Norvell’s first win as head coach.
