Even if he wasn\u2019t 100 percent healthy, Jordan Travis<\/a><\/strong> would never offer up how he truly feels physically before a game. <\/p>\n

But during the first two days of practice this week, the Florida State senior quarterback has certainly looked like he\u2019s not suffering any lingering effects from his injury in the Boston College game on Saturday.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday morning, in fact, he looked especially sharp running the Seminoles\u2019 offense and said he feels perfectly fine heading into this weekend\u2019s showdown with Clemson in Death Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really good,\u201d he said afterward. \u201cCan\u2019t wait to get out there Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among other topics, Travis was asked about the struggles of the Florida State offense down the stretch in the 31-29 win over Boston College. He said the issues were all self-inflicted and didn\u2019t seem all that concerned that the lull would carry over to this Saturday against the talented Tigers defense. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we have to get better as a football team,\u201d Travis said. \u201cWe came out and did enough to get the win. It wasn\u2019t enough. It wasn\u2019t to our standard or expectation, but we got a win. We\u2019re happy with that. We\u2019ve got to get better. \u2026 You can\u2019t turn over the ball, things like that. Basic stuff. Little things that we can control. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t stop us at all. We stopped ourselves. \u2026 We just have to get better and not allow that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Seminoles will definitely have to be better this week. Against this team. In that venue. <\/p>\n

It will be the third and final time Travis has started against the Tigers, and the second time he has done so in Death Valley<\/a>,<\/strong> which is one of the most hostile and loudest stadiums in the country. <\/p>\n

While acknowledging it\u2019s a great atmosphere, Travis said it shouldn\u2019t have too much \u2014 if any \u2014 effect on how the Seminoles play on Saturday. He said the only issue he has brought up with all the FSU starters (like Keon Coleman<\/a><\/strong>, Johnny Wilson<\/a><\/strong>, Trey Benson<\/a><\/strong>, and three-fifths of the starting offensive line) who haven\u2019t played there is just not letting the crowd noise be a distraction. <\/p>\n

Other than that, it\u2019s a football game. That\u2019s his message. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t get distracted,\u201d Travis said. \u201cAt the end of the day, the crowd is a distraction. We just can\u2019t allow it. We\u2019ve got to go out and dominate and be ourselves. That stuff doesn\u2019t matter. I mean, communication and stuff like that matters \u2026 but the stands, the people in the crowd should not affect our performance and execution. Just go out and play your game. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing atmosphere. It\u2019s something you dream of as a little kid, going out there and playing in front of all those fans. Especially Death Valley. It\u2019s a blessing from the man upstairs. Just go out there and ball out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two years ago, when Travis made his first start at Clemson, he wasn\u2019t a Heisman Trophy contender. And he certainly wasn\u2019t the quarterback of the No. 3 team in the country. <\/p>\n

The Seminoles were heavy underdogs against a Tigers team that had one of the best defenses in the country. And yet in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, Florida State had the lead. <\/p>\n

The Seminoles wound up losing, but Travis did get the experience of playing in a tight game in the fourth quarter at one of the loudest stadiums in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust the whole communication thing,\u201d Travis said, when asked about the lessons from that day. \u201cThat\u2019s it. Just communicating with the line. It\u2019s loud, man. But at the end of the day, we can control what we can control. You can\u2019t control the crowd. You go up early and go score a bunch of points, you can control that. <\/p>\n

\u201cJust go out and ball out. That\u2019s our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the Florida State offense has done for the majority of the season so far. Before the final four possessions against Boston College, the Seminoles had scored on 17 of the previous 20 drives led by Travis. Including 14 touchdowns. <\/p>\n

They were operating at an incredibly productive clip. <\/p>\n

Even though some receivers had been shut out in individual games \u2014 Wilson and Bell had zero catches against Southern Miss, and Coleman didn\u2019t have one against Boston Collegs \u2014 Travis said the offense is all about finding the guy who is open. No matter who it is.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to have unselfish players on this team,\u201d Travis said. \u201cI mean, our goal is to win every single week. Every single time we get a W and we get to break the rock every week, it\u2019s a blessing from the man upstairs. Like I said before, I can go for 0 yards, 0 touchdowns, as long as we win the football game, that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
