Quarterback McKenzie Milton starting vs. Jacksonville State

Quarterback McKenzie Milton’s long road back to college football has reached another apex — for the first time since 2018, he’ll be under center starting a game.

Milton made his return to the football field last week against Notre Dame, nearly leading the Florida State Seminole to an upset over the No. 9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. His return was heralded across sport, with his return being deemed a near-miracle.

From an ESPN piece:

“It was emotional, surreal. I keep thinking, ‘Did this actually happen?’” said Levy, one of the orthopedic surgeons who helped Milton return to the field after the quarterback suffered artery and nerve damage to his right leg, a dislocated knee and torn ligaments in a game on Nov.
