Travis went 27-of-38 for 418 yards and 2 TDs in a thrilling 35-32 comeback win.
After the performance, the former coach and current analyst Mark Richt compared Travis to a Seminole legend.

Travis and Ward were both known for their rushing and big-play ability for the Seminoles. Travis had an incredible 2022 season, finishing the regular season with 3,214 passing yards and 24 passing TDs.
