Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis was carted off the field during the first quarter of Saturday’s game with North Alabama after suffering a leg injury.
Travis was tackled after running on a play and remained on the field for moments before being carted off.
FSU star Jordan Travis went down with what appeared to be a serious lower body injury. He was carted off and is being taken out of the stadium in an ambulance. Tough scene in Tallahassee.

The undefeated Seminoles trailed the Lions 13-0 at the time of the injury. They got a field goal to make it 13-3 entering the second quarter.
Jameis Winston was at the game to have his jersey retired. He spoke graciously about Travis, keeping the focus on the injured QB.

The Seminoles rallied for their injured quarterback in the game.
They scored the final 58 points of the game, trouncing the Lions, by 45. That wasn’t enough to cover the 45-point spread but it had to soothe some of the sadness of losing their great quarterback early.
Travis celebrated a teammate’s success from his hospital bed via an Instagram story post.
