The Seminoles look to start 3-0 for the first time since 2015 against the Cardinals.

This is Year 3 for Norvell, and with the LSU win there is a sense that maybe the 2022 Seminoles are starting to build some confidence in the idea that they belong on the big stage. [Florida State](https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/teams/FSU/florida-state-seminoles/) and [Louisville](https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/teams/LVILLE/louisville-cardinals/) meet to headline the Friday action on the Week 3 schedule in a pivotal ACC matchup.

Florida State dealt with two significant injuries in the first half of its game at Louisville.

That victory helped lift the Seminoles to their first 2-0 start since 2016 and cemented the notion that Travis, a Louisville transfer, may be in for a breakout season. Travis was seen on crutches at the start of the second half with his left leg in a boot, while Verse was out of uniform. Travis, a redshirt senior, was off to a solid start to his year with 467 yards passing entering the Louisville game. Travis quickly grabbed his left leg after the play and remained on the field for several minutes before being helped off. After Travis' injury with 4:21 left in the second quarter, Rodemaker completed 1 of 3 passes for negative yardage with an interception before halftime.

The Cardinals did not have a great start to the season, having their lunch handed to them in their season opener against the Syracuse Orangemen in Week 1. After a couple of disappointing seasons, Florida State has given some fans in Tallahassee some optimism early on in 2022. Though they needed a missed extra point, Florida State was able to hang on to beat the Tigers in coach Brian Kelly’s debut.

Louisville was able to sneak their way into the end zone on a third and five, marching their way to a 14-7 lead. The UCF transfer led the Noles in tackles with 10 on the night. The safety duo concluded the win with a combined one pass breakup and 19 tackles. Defensive coordinator Adam Fuller described him as one of the best weapons on the Noles defense and that was definitely on display against the Cards. While they were able to find a first down, they met DeLoach on a third and two. The ball game was tied at 21 when the Noles defense entered the field in the third quarter. Cunningham and the Cards running backs continued to find success, but linebacker Tatum Bethune recovered a fumble close to the 50-yard line. The Seminoles missed a field goal, and UL took advantage with a 24-yard gain on first down. The Cardinals were in FSU territory with 2:56 remaining in the first quarter. After some great tackling from FSU’s linebackers and coverage from their defensive backs, UL went back to the sideline on a three-and-out. The score was 7-7 with 8:28 left in the first half. The main priority for the Noles defense was maintaining a consistent run stop plan against UL’s quarterback Malik Cunningham and making sure he stayed in the pocket.

FSU quarterback Jordan Travis was ruled out of the second half of Friday's 35-31 win over Louisville with an apparent left knee injury.

Who scored anyway soon thereafter on a laser from Rodemaker for the winning tally. It became fait accompli on the victors next drive. Yasir Abdullah and YaYa Diaby sacked Tate Rodemaker on the first play of the ensuing drive. Next play: 10 yard TD dart to Wilson, who easily beat the coverage. Ware, to his credit, noticed and mentioned early on after intermission how Seminole wideouts, especially 6-7 star of the game Johnny Wilson, were getting one on one man coverage with no safety help. U of L countered with some defensive tweaks aimed at pressuring the redshirt freshman.

How Tate Rodemaker performed might be the biggest indicator to date of this program's promising outlook under third-year head coach Mike Norvell.

The special teams unit continues to be a glaring problem that needs to be addressed. “That is a very talented offense,” Norvell said. “We talked about that heart, we talked about the identity. “The guys who couldn’t finish the game, I promise they will do everything they can do to be available next week. FSU looked to be executing that plan on its first possession of the second half. “Tate can absolutely spin the ball,” Norvell said. “I'm just so proud of the players and our coaches,” Norvell said. Especially after he converted a critical third-and-9, which involved him evading pressure and running down the right sideline for a 10-yard gain. “It was just a special night. The Seminoles had every reason to lose to the Cardinals for a third straight season. “But, he just went out there and responded in the second half. and defensive end Jared Verse were among players to permanently leave the Louisville game with injuries.
