Florida State was in trouble.
During the first quarter Saturday, the No. 4-ranked national championship-contending Seminoles trailed lowly North Alabama, 13-0, at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Then things appeared to get worse.
At the end of a 16-yard run, FSU’s Jordan Travis suffered a severe left leg injury, prompting a medical cart to come out and transport the Heisman Trophy-worthy quarterback off the field and to an uncertain offseason.
Twitter users responded to the Seminoles rebounding and scoring the game’s final 58 points to secure the non-conference victory and keep their national title aspirations alive – for now.
Travis’ season – and his Heisman hopes – came to a sudden end …
