Florida State finally avoids a disaster by turning a QB sneak into a 42-yard gain

Florida State survives another close call in Week 3, but this one wasn’t so close

Florida State survived their toughest test of the 2023 season in Week 3, beating the Louisville Cardinals 35-31. However, the Seminoles had to rally from a 14-point deficit in the second half to do it. What made this victory different from Week 1 and Week 2 was that the offense finally came to life. Quarterback Jordan Travis threw for 321 yards and 2 touchdowns. Running back Treshaun Ward added 126 yards on the ground. The defense also played well, forcing three turnovers.
