he No.16 ranked Duke Blue Devils, led by quarterback Riley Leonard, the No. 4-ranked Florida State Seminoles, led by quarterback Jordan Travis, in an NCAA Week 8 college football game on Saturday, Oct.21 2023, at Doak S. Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.
Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis warms up before an NCAA college football game against Syracuse, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in Tallahassee, Fla. , in an NCAA Week 8 college football game on Saturday, Oct.21 2023, at Doak S. Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.No. 4 Florida State hopes to start the second half of its season just like it did the first: by beating a ranked team.
The Blue Devils upset Clemson in their opener and nearly knocked off Notre Dame three weeks ago. They’re coming off a 24-3 drubbing of North Carolina State and could get quarterback Riley Leonard back from a sprained right ankle. “We know the standard we have to play to to win and we expect to play at that standard no matter who we’re against. No matter what the odds are, stacked against us, that’s kind of how we’re trained in this Elko era. It’s the underdog mentality with the chip on our shoulder. Honestly, it’s nothing new.”
“But ultimately it’s still about you can’t get focused on the outside and the exterior. If you’re willing to give your attention to that, the pressure that comes with that, you’re going to miss out on the opportunity to grow and get better throughout the journey, the week, the game.”After playing five of its first six games at home, Duke seems eager to hit the road. The Blue Devils have ventured outside Durham, North Carolina, just once this season — a 41-7 victory at UConn.
Travis injured his left hand just before halftime against the Orange, but he returned to play in the second half.
