The Florida State Seminoles are preparing for a big showdown against the No. 15 Louisville Cardinals in the ACC Championship Game. One of the biggest questions surrounding the game is the availability of starting quarterback Jordan Rodemaker.
Rodemaker has been dealing with a shoulder injury that has kept him out of the last two games. It is uncertain if he will be able to play against Louisville, and head coach Mike Norvell has said that a decision on his status will not be made until game day.
The Seminoles have been able to win both of their games without Rodemaker, but his presence would be a huge boost for the team. He has been one of the most productive quarterbacks in the ACC this season, throwing for 2,531 yards and 18 touchdowns. He is also a threat with his legs, having rushed for 477 yards and four touchdowns.
If Rodemaker is unable to play, redshirt freshman Chubba Purdy will likely get the start. Purdy has been solid in his two starts, throwing for 568 yards and four touchdowns. He has also been able to make plays with his legs, rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seminoles will need to be at their best if they want to beat the Cardinals and win the ACC Championship. The availability of Rodemaker could be the difference between victory and defeat, and the team is hoping he can make it back in time for the big game. The decision on his status will be made on game day, so fans will have to wait until then to find out if he will be able to play.
