Florida State: Ex-FSU QB Takes Blame for Mike Norvell’s Firing Despite Leaving Pro…
Florida StateFSU dismissed the coach on Sunday, a day after a 36-24 home loss to Clemson dropped the team to 3-5. Travis is the player who made the Norvell era look like it was working.
He transferred from Louisville, sat on the depth chart under Willie Taggart, and got his shot after McKenzie Milton went down. Under Norvell, he became one of the best quarterbacks in school history, finished fifth in the Heisman voting, and won ACC Player of the Year in 2023.
On the November 6 episode of Travis Take Two with his brother Devon, he pinned FSU's slide on one night in November 2023. "I almost hold some weight, and some I carry so much weight on my shoulders," Travis said .
"Obviously, that's '23 season, me breaking my leg. If I don't break my leg, Mike Norvell is still at Florida State, I believe.
