Florida State just lost one of its top playmakers, Samuel Singleton Jr., who left the game against No. 10 Alabama on crutches and did not return, ending his night way too early. This happened right after he delivered one of the most electrifying moments of the game, turning a short screen pass into a monster 65-yard gain that helped set up a Seminoles touchdown.
The Play That Sparked Hope and Heartbreak
That huge 65-yard burst was exactly what FSU needed, but man, did it come at a cost. Singleton was gone, and FSU trailed Alabama 40-28 heading into the fourth quarter. Losing him right when you’re trying to mount a comeback? That’s just brutal. Before he exited, this sophomore running back was putting in serious work, racking up 106 all-purpose yards. He’s been a dynamic weapon for them all season, coming into this Alabama matchup leading the team with six receptions for 94 yards and two receiving touchdowns. You can’t just replace that kind of production.
Who Steps Up? The Road Ahead for FSU
With Singleton out, the Seminoles had to lean heavily on freshman running back Ousmane Kromah, who managed 65 rushing yards and a touchdown through three quarters. Tre Wisner, meanwhile, had yet to record a carry. The challenge for Florida State now is massive: they’re staring down a fourth-quarter comeback against a top-10 team without one of their most explosive offensive threats. Singleton’s absence isn’t just a blow; it’s a significant gut punch to their hopes of finding answers and keeping that comeback dream alive.
