WATCH: Keon Coleman Snags Electric One-Handed Catch Against Syracuse

The Seminoles are off to a fast start against the Orange thanks to Coleman's play-making ability.

The Florida State Seminoles are taking on the Syracuse Orange, where they won the coin toss and chose to defer. This wouldn't matter much, as the Seminoles' defense would quickly find its way off the field.

When the Seminoles got the ball, they started moving quickly. Jordan Travis threw a perfect five passes for five completions, including four of those to Keon Coleman for 44 yards, including an incredible 27-yard pass.

With one defender on him, Coleman rose up and snagged the deep ball with one hand through contact. An electric play for the star wide receiver helped provide a needed spark early in the game,

With Johnny Wilson out, Coleman is expected to step up in a big way, and that's the benefit of having such a solid wide receiver room. It'll be interesting to see how often Travis goes to Coleman, considering he did four times on the opening drive.

Travis finished the drive by taking a read option into the end zone all on his own. The Seminoles are leading 7-0 in the opening quarter and already have the football back once again.
