Florida State lost starting quarterback Jordan Travis for the second half of Friday’s game against host Louisville but rallied around backup Tate Rodemaker to win 35-31.
Travis, who led FSU to an upset win over LSU in Week 1, appeared to injure his right knee while trying to escape a sack in the second quarter. He was later seen on the sideline on crutches.
Travis opened the game completing his first 11 passes, two of which went for a touchdown. For the season, he’s 44-of-65 passing for 624 yards and four touchdowns.
Rodemaker, a third-year sophomore, went 6-of-10 for 109 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Noles’ to their third victory of the season.
Florida State also lost star pass-rusher Jared Verse to an apparent knee injury in the first half.
