McKenzie Milton makes impressive return for Florida State after devastating leg injury | Highlights

[@ellishouck4449]

Only way I can describe this guy is that he is a playmaker. He's almost like a point guard playing quarterback

[@enthused7591]

We LOVED him at UCF. The dude's a god on the football field. FSU would be very foolish to start someone over him going forward.

[@markgentile3368]

Thats what happens when you are a MAN

[@austinreed683]

The fact that he felt comfortable enough to keep and run with the ball on a couple plays really shows how much he trusts his medical staff & his progress in his recovery. Confidence, love to see it

[@tete4350]

That’s what I’m saying!

[@johnnyd28101]

I missed most if the second half of the game and when I just watched these highlights all I was looking for was if he was able to protect himself and play without favoring that leg or trying to protect it. Those couple of runs he made convinced me more then anything else.

[@josh2161]

Glad he knows to go down. That game he hurt his knee, the announcers were talking about how he refuses to go down right before he got the injury

[@BlinxSZN]

Fr bro I would be so scared

[@dollarsignhtotheo2dubbs579]

Man, the emotions I'm sure all of us UCF fans felt as soon as that ball was hiked to him. What an incredible night. I still remember my exact reaction on Nov 23, 2018. Seeing KZ on that field tonight was amazing.

I truly believe if he had started the game and the coaches had not done that bone headed 4th down play in the 3rd qtr, the Noles would have easily won.

As a Notre Dame fan... its awesome to see Milton having success. Wish him the best and hope he plays well.... he should be the starter!

[@sports3117]

This guy deserves to come back to college and be the starter again. His play in the 2nd half was inspiring

[@SolusT.V.]

The other quarterback threw 3 interceptions too,Milton was playing way better and a better passer by far.

We love Milton down here at UCF we know what he's capable of, and we're so happy to see him playing again go Seminoles. Let's Go Knights!

They need to start Milton. He's clearly the better QB. He's accurate and makes smart plays.

[@gm3xcd884]

I agree he is very good. He carried UCF to 23 victory’s i think if they start him they will have a very successful season

[@Subzero48xb]

He needs another year of rehab I think before being fulltime

[@randomtuberhandle]

Dear FSU. Thank you for not starting McKenzie Milton in this game. Yours Truly, Notre Dame.

[@bobbymcgee1179]

I know it's early season, but this kid looks like a pro. Great pass on third and long with pressure right in his face, and then quick thinking shovel pass, again on third down. Really great stuff. Hope he does well and is the starter now

[@pcmld2267]

Now you’re beginning to see how UCF was so good a couple years ago.

[@AK-sq1jl]

This was one of the best week 1s ever. I watched like 6 epic games this past week and weekend.

[@obamabinballin]

Pisses me off knowing that they would’ve won this game had he played from the start.

[@transportman3498]

My thoughts exactly as I watched. Milton exudes confidence and doesn't make dumb mistakes like Travis.

[@lnd4448]

I’ll never stop wondering what could’ve been. Truly a special player and an even better human. 4 years ago that unforgettable day happened. We love you forever KZ⚔️⚫️

[@allblind8088]

[@tedunseth3966]

I think Milton will be great at anything he does in life. This kid refuses to be denied. They say your destiny is in your hands and Milton plays like that. This is the best story in College Football. He has NOTHING to PROVE. He is a winner and proved he has belonged in the elite of college football. I actually had tears come to my eyes watching this kid last night. It shows what determination can do.

[@Thatsnotwhatiwastold]

What a legend, respect!

[@enthused7591]

Dude's got almost 10,000 yards of total offense, 92 total touchdowns and roughly 3.5 to 1 TD to INT ratio. He was a late 1st or 2nd round draft pick if he'd never gotten hurt. I can't tell ya how bad I hope he stays healthy and shows the world he's elite.

[@BobbyBoatman33]

This guy is a national treasure. What an incredible inspiration to all!

[@depressedchargersfan8061]

This is a moment that will forever be remembered by college football fans no matter what team you root for. It's good to have you back Mckenzie. Also F**K Notre Dame for ruining everything good in college football.

[@hukmusic808]

Us in Hawaii all proud of him, nice to see our Hawaii QBs doing well!

[@jefftee0421]

Travis made some terrible throws, including the 2 INTs. The 2nd one would’ve been a TD if he didn’t lob it. Milton 100% deserves to start next week.

[@BBaldwin]

Agreed. Frankly, I question Jordan’s judgement and ability to dissect defenses. He’s a good athlete, but not a big boy football qb.

[@lukedaduke3533]

I was half heartedly rooting for ND until I saw he was the backup and he threw that first pass, inspiring recovery, I hope he gets another chance to win a college football game and end on a bang

[@tommy_noble]

This was absolutely incredible to watch

[@Jono2002]

He should have gotten at least one quarter to play. Not just coming in because the starter lost his helmet. I'm bias since I'm from Hawaii and want him to succeed!

[@marksidebottom5352]

Best game of the weekend

[@EconAdviser]

As exciting as the UCF v. Boise State game Thursday Night on ESPN (3 lead changes in the final 18 minutes).

[@CosBr]

I hope Milton becomes the starter and plays very well. If he plays what he knows, he'll go to the NFL next year.

I don’t believe in moral victories, but I’m finally feeling optimistic about the direction our program is heading. I am very pleased with the competency of Norvell and his staff-a couple more top ten recruiting classes (featuring big, powerful linemen) and we’ll be on our way to playing big boy football again.

[@clocksheep1301]

Injury or not, that shovel pass shows that he’s someone who knows what he’s doing

[@jbrashguitarist]

Looked like a Brett Favre play out there - just makin' stuff happen when the play breaks down, no matter how unconventional. Game smarts/instincts.

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

I'm a huge FSU fan and this is the best I have felt after a loss in a long long time!

[@AirRaider56]

:59 absolute nerves of steel. Sees the pressure, doesn’t panic, makes a good throw, and takes the hit. I hope McKenzie gets the starting job for the rest of the season to see what he can do.

[@randomtuberhandle]

FSU found their starting QB but didn't start him. What would have happened if he started? How did coaches not see? Let him play. He wants this. Difference Maker. Way to go KZ!

[@user-nq5pf4fv9m]

You wouldn’t think he spend the last 3 years recovering from a life threatening knee injury the way he played .

[@jaedenjones2231]

Could go either way lol. You spend 3 years recovering, you coming back with a vengeance

[@tampafruitgrower8913]

Milton should be FSU's starting QB. He makes his team better. Norvell should know this from first hand experience.

[@derek8382]

FSU looking much better

[@Familyman617]

Jordan Travis has the athletic ability, but he can't see the field/ read defenses just yet. Milton had the better camp, probably should've started the game, he may be the starter going forward. Travis still has 3 years of eligibility left. Let him sit and learn from Milton.

[@Battlehawk62]

Dude threw 3INT that cost them the game 2 of which were just dumb. Coach should have benched him at half.
