What's Next for FSU?
What's Next for FSU?

Following Jordan Travis’s devastating injury, Florida State has many questions surrounding the program. The biggest question is what’s next?
The first quarter against North Alabama was a disaster for Florida State. Not only were they down 13-0, but their starting QB, Jordan Travis went down with a gruesome leg injury. This led to Tate Rodemaker coming in at QB. Tate then guided the Noles to a win involving 58 unanswered points and he showed off his cannon of an arm.
As a result of losing their Superstar QB, Florida State has entered a debate about even if they are undefeated they’ll be left out for a one-loss team. The only way that this comes to fruition would be if Florida State lost because if they’re undefeated, they’ve still done everything that’s been asked of them.
Expect the offense to look a lot different under Rodemaker. Rodemaker can throw the ball really well because of his NFL-caliber arm which makes the Noles even more of a threat through the air as the offense becomes more vertical. Rodemaker is also an athlete, while he won’t be able to evade tackles and turn negative plays into positive plays like Jordan Travis could, Rodemaker’s size and mobility will be key in trying to continue a very dangerous offensive attack
If Rodemaker looks lost, which is unlikely due to his experience at Florida State for his fourth year, Florida State will look at third-string true freshman Brock Glenn who has also shown signs of potential but is very raw.
All in all, expect Rodemaker to look really good as a result of his experience. His physicality will also put him in a good enough position to not be a statue in the pocket and lose tons and tons of yardage.
