Jordan Travis battling through new injury during Clemson game

Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis is dealing with multiple injuries as he continues to lead the Seminoles in a comeback effort vs. Clemson.

He’s down but not out. FSU QB Jordan Travis was already dealing with some left shoulder discomfort during Saturday’s game vs. Clemson when he hurt his right hand, according to ABC sideline reporter Molly McGrath.

McGrath joined the broadcast to report the following on Travis in the second quarter following Florida State’s first touchdown drive:

“Well, after that last drive, quarterback Jordan Travis came off the field with a right hand injury. He was bleeding from that hand and was in visible pain. He keeps shaking it out before going out. And that plus his left shoulder injury, you can tell Travis is frustrated with the pressure he’s facing.”

So, Travis is certainly less than 100% at the moment. However, just after that report from McGrath, the ‘Noles starter went out and led a quick touchdown drive before the half to cut Clemson’s lead down from 10 to just 17-14 at the break.

Travis hit Keon Coleman for a huge gain during the drive — who he also hit for a wide open TD pass on the previous possession — and then finished off the possession with a two-yard touchdown run of his own. He may be weakened, but Jordan Travis is still leading his team in a tight one at Clemson.

Norvell lauds Travis after Clemson win

After the massive win. Norvell was asked to discuss the performance of QB Jordan Travis, who fought off injuries to both his shoulder and his throwing hand throughout the afternoon.

“I mean, he’s a winner,” said Norvell. “He’s just such a great leader for this team, you know. The way that our guys compete, the way they continue to push, this has been a hard-earned win, something we’ve been working for for four years. And just so proud to see our team come on the road and be able to get it done in a hostile environment.”

Plus, now that FSU has beat Clemson and did so in Death Valley, sideline reporter Molly McGrath asked Norvell how he feels to take the ACC crown away from the Tigers.

“We’re going to continue on our climb,” said the FSU coach. Everyday, just try to get better, try to capitalize on the moments we get. I mean, these players, they work their tails off. But we got great guys, we got the right fit, right, and now it’s just continuing to take those positive steps where we’re going.”
