A three-time ACC Quarterback of the Week, Travis is one of three players nationally with at least 20 touchdown passes and two or fewer interceptions. He is one of eight players with 20 passing touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns.
In Saturday's win against Miami, he became the first Florida State starting quarterback with three wins against the Hurricanes and extended his streak with a touchdown pass to 22 games. Earlier this season, he set an FSU record with 16 consecutive games accounting for multiple touchdowns, the second-longest streak in the ACC over the last 20 years.
Travis had a stretch of 184 pass attempts without an interception, the fifth-longest streak in program history and 13th-longest in ACC history. He leads the nation in passer rating (202.99) and yards per attempt (11.0) against ranked opponents, and is fourth nationally in completion percentage (74.2) against ranked opponents.
Travis began the season with a career-high four touchdown passes and a fifth touchdown on the ground in FSU's 45-24 win over No. 5 LSU. In the second half against the Tigers, Travis had a QBR of 99.9, the highest rating in a half by any quarterback nationally against a ranked opponent since 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston in 2013.
Travis ranks among the top-three in the ACC in passing yards per game, passing efficiency, points responsible for per game, total offense per game, passing touchdowns, yards per pass attempt, yards per completion and completions per game.
On top of FSU's career touchdown and total offense records, Travis is No. 2 at FSU in his career with 65 passing touchdowns and 8,622 passing yards. Travis is No. 3 with 631 completions, 27 wins as starting quarterback and a 62.5 completion percentage. He also is No. 4 on the program's career list with 31 rushing touchdowns.
