Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis suffered an apparent left arm injury late in the first half of the Seminoles' Week 3 road win at Boston College. Travis fell awkwardly on the arm while scrambling on third down and was attended to by trainers after the play before leaving the field under his own power. He briefly entered the injury tent before heading in for halftime but reentered the game as the second half began, leading FSU to touchdowns in its first two drives of the third quarter before the Seminoles fended off a Boston College comeback attempt in a 31-29 victory.

Travis was 6 of 11 passing for 91 yards with a touchdown before the injury occurred. Florida State already found itself unexpectedly struggling against the Eagles before Travis went down and didn't take its first lead until the final two minutes of the first half. Travis ended the game completing 15 of 24 pass attempts for 212 yards and two touchdowns. FSU built a 31-10 lead in the third quarter before Boston College ended the game scoring 19 unanswered points. 

Travis entered the 2023 campaign as a preseason Heisman candidate, and a Week 1 victory against then-No. 5 LSU only furthered that hype. Travis threw for 342 yards and four touchdowns in that victory against the Tigers before passing for 175 yards and two touchdowns in 66-13 rout of Southern Miss in Week 2.

It's unclear what implications Travis' apparent ailment may bring when the Seminoles travel to Clemson in Week 4, though the fact he remained in the game should be an encouraging sight for FSU. The Seminoles will be seeking their first win against the Tigers since 2014, dropping each of the past seven meetings in the ACC series.
