Jordan Travis reacts to his strong performance in FSU's weekend scrimmage

Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis enters this season as the full time starter for the Seminoles, and in the team’s first scrimmage of fall camp he impressed. Head coach Mike Norvell said Travis completed around 70% of his passes in the scrimmage, as Travis spoke about his efficient day and his views on the offense.

“I feel really good, I’ve been playing really well. This football team has been doing amazing, offensive line’s been doing really good, receivers been making big plays. At the end of the day, I can’t do anything without my guys, they’ve been playing really really good so just gotta keep it rolling until next week,” Travis said.

This is a very promising sign for Seminole fans, as their offense last season finished around the middle of the pack in nearly every category in the ACC.

Travis started in eight games last season for the Seminoles, and was named the team’s offensive MVP last season, as a dual threat quarterback who threw for over 1,500 yards and rushed for more than 500 yards (one of four ACC players to do so). Travis had some rocky moments last year, most notably the season opening, overtime loss to Notre Dame. But Travis also had some stellar performances, like his three toudown game over Boston College and another three toudchdown pass game versus North Carolina, where he also added a pair of rushing touchdowns to his stat line. Both of which Travis threw zero interceptions and lead the Seminoles to victory.

Florida State fans are hoping to see more of those elite performances out of Travis this season as he enters his second year running Mike Norvel’s offense, and hopefully him and his offense can ride their promising momentum from camp into the season.

Mike Norvell addresses overall depth, position battles still up for grabs in preseason

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell may not have liked the record the Seminoles finished with last season, but he seems to like the roster he’s entering the 2022 season with. Norvell talked about his team depth and position battles still happening during game, and seems to have already have a pretty good pulse on who will be playing significant snaps for the Seminoles this season. 

“I think we have a pretty good sense of the guys that have shown the consistency that will be able to help us. Now the extent of that is still unknown and what I like is I do think we have depth. I think we have guys that can help this team, certain positions more than others, but what that’s going to look like come game day, that’s a daily process. That’s going to go all the way up til we kick off, just showing that consistency and play-making ability and whatever your role is,” Norvell said. 

Norvell lost arguably his best players on both sides of the ball to the NFL this offseason in Jermaine Johnson and Jashaun Corbin, but seems confident in replacing his lost production with emerging talent.
