Quarterback
It was a night and day between Tate Rodemaker, who started the game, and Jordan Travis. The true freshman threw a pick-six on his second pass attempt, and his performance didn't improve much from there. He was benched in the second quarter after completing 8 of 12 passes for just 68 yards. He finished with a PFF passing grade of 26.9.
It was a very different story when Travis entered the game with 10:34 left in the first half. The redshirt sophomore led the offense on five straight touchdown drives, completing 12 of 17 passes for 210 yards and one touchdown. He also made several key runs that helped to extend drives.
Travis is only the second FSU quarterback to turn in an offensive grade (85.7) over 80 since the 2018 season. That overall grade was also the highest on the team.
Interestingly, Travis completed 4 of 7 on passes of more than 20 yards.
