In a press conference on Monday, Florida State University (FSU) head coach, Mike Norvell, addressed concerns surrounding the team following the devastating injury to quarterback Jordan Travis. Despite the doubts surrounding the Seminoles' chances of success, Norvell expressed unwavering confidence in his team's ability to overcome adversity and continue to compete at the highest level.

Travis, who was having an outstanding season and had propelled FSU to an impressive 11-0 start, suffered a setback due to the injury. Many believed that his absence would diminish the team's chances of winning titles or making it to the College Football Playoff.

However, Norvell refused to let negative external opinions affect his team's mindset. He emphasized that they could not control injuries or the comments made by others. Instead, he urged the players to focus on showcasing their true potential on the field while disregarding outside noise.

Norvell reaffirmed his belief in the strength and resilience of his team, highlighting their commitment, work ethic, and heart. He stressed the importance of maintaining consistency and remaining true to themselves, regardless of the challenges they face.

Recalling the rollercoaster journey FSU has experienced over the past year, Norvell acknowledged their transformation from underdogs to heroes and back again. He expressed gratitude that the opinions of others held no sway over the team's actions and decisions.

While acknowledging that the players are not immune to outside criticism, Norvell expressed his gratitude that it does not dictate their path. He cited the team's past achievements, overcoming low expectations, and defying doubters. The loss of their star quarterback, Travis, will not deter the team from striving for success.

Norvell placed his trust in the players, including Tate Rodemaker who will take on the new role in Travis' absence, to determine their own destiny and reach their desired goals. He remained optimistic that their continued growth and improvement would inspire others to have faith in their capabilities once again.

FSU fans and supporters now eagerly await the team's performance without Travis. Norvell remains firm in his belief that there are no limits to what this resilient team can achieve. He urged everyone to witness their potential firsthand and hoped that this display of resilience would restore confidence in those who may have doubted FSU's capabilities.

Although the loss of Jordan Travis is undoubtedly a blow to FSU, Coach Norvell's unwavering confidence in his team's abilities is a source of motivation for the players and fans alike. As they continue to face adversity head-on, the Seminoles' quest for success continues, with Norvell leading the charge from the sidelines.
