Consider that this FSU team just watched their leader get gruesomely injured and they responded - for him - by only winning. On the road, and at a neutral-site against a Top 15 team. FSU did everything it was supposed. And more. What kind of message does this send?

Hi @danorlovsky7 . FSU went 2-0 without Jordan Travis. It would probably be beneficial to be accurate in what you share with your national platform moving forward. Maybe even a retraction or clarification would be the right thing to do professionally?
