FSU football: How good can Jordan Travis be in 2022?
By Kelvin Hunt
Second Half of 2021 Season
We saw Travis as the permanent starter after the loss to Syracuse, and we saw the coaching staff begin to attack defenses with different methods.
The second half of the season began with the UMASS game, where Travis only had 19 plays on offense.
Clemson was the best defense they faced, and the FSU didn’t have the skill players or offensive line to give Jordan Travis enough opportunities to be effective.
He failed to make a couple of plays in the game, but the margin for error was too small, with a lot of his passing production coming on a extraordinary play by Lawrence Toafili.
Unfortunately, Travis missed the NC State game with the flu, a game they would have had a chance to win if he could have played.
Here’s the average number of passes, passing yards, rushing attempts, and rushing yards for Travis in the five games he started in the second half of the season:
-24.2 passing attempts
-15 completions
-205 yards per game
-15 rushing attempts
-53.2 rushing yards per game
Travis accounted for six passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns in those five games. However, it’s the final three games where the coaching staff seemed to unlock his potential.
