The only thing that Florida State couldn't have had happen against Kent State just reared its ugly head on Saturday

The Florida State Seminoles were always going to whitewash the Kent State Golden Flashes on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee. The Seminoles proved during their first two games that they can take care of business in a way that good teams do against Alabama and East Texas A&M.

But, against Kent State, the most important thing coming out of this game was staying healthy. Keeping all crucial players at 100%.

It appears that might not be the case with FSU QB Tommy Castellanos.

Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos limped to the locker room in a lightning delay against Kent State

With Florida State up 35-7 and driving with two and a half minutes remaining in the half, a lightning delay was announced, and the teams started heading to the locker room. At that point, Castellanos was shown by the broadcast walking with a noticeable limp across the field and towards the tunnel. He had been rolled up previously by Kent State defenders after throwing a pass.

Castellanos was having another big outing for the Seminoles on Saturday. He was 10/13 for 201 yards and an interception passing. However, he added 7 carries for 54 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground. He scored on runs of 12 and 10 yards in the first quarter. Mobility is a key part of Castellanos game and having him in the pocket and unable to scramble like he normally can is an especially limiting factor for him.

As such, Mike Norvell's decision not to send his starting quarterback back out there in a game that is certainly no longer in doubt is a wise one, which he's decided not to do in a 35-7 game. Given he was walking off under his own power, that's a good sign for Castellanos, but there's zero reason to risk any further damage to your most important player with conference play set to start next week.
