Florida State defeated Louisville 16–6 with Brock Glenn, their third-string quarterback, starting. Before the game, Travis spoke of his faith in God to provide for his teammates and his confidence in their ability to win.
Those are my best friends. I talk to them every single day and texted both of them last night,” he said Saturday of Glenn and the injured Tate Rodemaker, via TheOsceola.com. “I just let them know I can’t wait to watch them go out and perform. I know who they are and what type of players they are and how much they will want to win. That’s the biggest thing about this quarterback room.”
Travis acknowledged that, with the season-ending injury he suffered, God might have a different plan for him.
“We always talk about winning, being a leader, the toughness and those guys do a great job with that,” he said. “I have all the faith in the world in them. A bunch of guys that have been waiting for their opportunity, man. I’ve been waiting to watch them succeed. At the end of the day, I wish I could be out there with the guys, but God has a different plan for me. I’m ready to see whoever goes out there today, just go out there and ball, because I know who they are.
“When you have Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman, I didn’t have to do too much in the end. Benson Trey. I could talk forever about this football team’s guys. It facilitates your work. Give those guys a chance, be yourself, and don’t try to do too much.”
