With Jordan Travis apparently battling illness this week, the Florida State football team is turning its offense over once again to veteran UCF transfer McKenzie Milton.

Milton, who started three games earlier this season, has completed 58 of 93 passes for 548 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions. He will face an N.C. State defense that is among the best in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Travis has led FSU to victories in three of the Seminoles' past four games but is one of several players apparently battling an illness this week. He is not suited up for the game.

The Seminoles are thinner than usual at quarterback right now following Chubba Purdy's decision to transfer earlier this week. That leaves the 'Noles with Milton, Travis, redshirt freshman Tate Rodemaker and walk-on Gino English.
