Florida State Running Back Exits Game Against Duke After Injury
Trey Benson Suffers Apparent Knee Injury, Leaves Field On Crutches
Florida State running back Trey Benson exited Saturday's game against Duke in the third quarter with an apparent knee injury. Benson was injured on a run up the middle and was slow to get up. He was eventually helped off the field by trainers and was seen on crutches on the sideline.
Injury Severity Unknown, Benson To Undergo MRI
The severity of Benson's injury is unknown at this time. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the extent of the damage. Benson has been one of Florida State's most productive running backs this season, rushing for 291 yards and two touchdowns in five games.
Implications For Florida State Offense
Benson's injury is a major blow to Florida State's offense. He is the team's leading rusher and has been a key part of the Seminoles' success this season. Benson's absence will likely force Florida State to rely more on running backs Larry Brinson and CJ Campbell.
Brinson, Campbell To Take On Larger Roles
Brinson and Campbell are both talented running backs, but they have not had much experience as lead backs. Brinson has rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns this season, while Campbell has rushed for 104 yards and one touchdown.
Florida State Faces Tough Schedule Ahead
Florida State's offense will be tested in the coming weeks. The Seminoles have a tough schedule ahead, with games against Wake Forest, NC State, and Clemson still to come. Benson's injury will make it even more difficult for Florida State to win these games.
