Gene Frenette wonders: Is there any way quarterbacks Anthony Richardson and Jordan Travis could return next year for an encore presentation and deliver more great football theater in Gainesville? Gators Noles
Travis, a redshirt junior, also faces a decision about whether to return to FSU next season or turn pro, but he’s an undersized prospect that will likely be no better than a third-day draft pick at this moment.
This rivalry could do worse than having the rocket-armed Richardson, with him getting more accustomed to Billy Napier’s system, chucking deep balls to Ricky Pearsall for another year. Richardson also scares every defense with his size and athleticism. It’d sure be nice to see him and Travis going head-to-head one more time, though fans of the Florida-FSU rivalry may not get their wish. Most games where two quarterbacks combine to complete just 22 of 57 passes would be hard on the eyes. This one didn’t feel that way.
Those were higher-stakes matchups, but Richardson and Travis had enough big plays to make fans of both programs want to see these quarterbacks tangle again. Jacksonville’s Denny Thompson, who has trained Richardson in the offseason for several years, doesn’t minimize the obvious that his pupil has work to do polishing his game.
While Travis was eager to make plays with his legs on designed runs, the fact he averaged 20.9 yards on his 13 completions against UF’s shaky defense speaks volumes about his big-play ability. His 270 passing yards would have been significantly higher without some uncharacteristic drops. Keep in mind, Richardson is just 21-years-old and, like Travis, this is his first year as a full-time starting quarterback for an entire season.
Dane Brugler, the highly-respect draft analyst for The Athletic, likes Richardson’s ceiling, but admits he’s a tough call on draft day. “Jordan is an interesting dual-threat quarterback prospect,” wrote Brugler. “He does a great job using his feet to buy time and make plays. His escapability is impressive, but he will also stand strong in the face of the rush. He throws well on the move and can add a little on his throws that need to find an expiring window.
