Florida State topped Louisville behind third-string quarterback Brock Glenn. Travis talked about the confidence he had in his teammates before the game and believed God would come through for them in the end.<\/p>\n<p>He said of Glenn and the injured Tate Rodemaker via TheOsceola.com, &#8220;Those are my best friends. I talk to them every single day and texted both of them last night. I just let them know I can&#8217;t wait to watch them go out and perform. I know who they are, what type of players they are, and how much they will want to win. That&#8217;s the biggest thing about the quarterback room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Travis also acknowledged that, with the season-ending injury he suffered, God might have a different plan for him. He said, &#8220;We always talk about winning, being a leader, the toughness, and those guys do a great job with that. I have all the faith in the world in them. A bunch of guys that have been waiting for their opportunity, man. I&#8217;ve been waiting to watch them succeed. At the end of the day, I wish I could be out there with the guys, but God has a different plan for me. I&#8217;m ready to see whoever goes out there today. Just go out there and ball because I know who they are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V3pdhIT8KNU?si=Ru6xacLVB1MHWGuJ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;At the end of the day, I didn&#8217;t have to do too much when you have Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson.
