The Florida State Seminoles came up just short in one of the best games of the 2026 college football season in a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday night.
Unfortunately, more bad news came out of Saturday's game on Sunday pertaining to star running back Ousmane Kromah.
Kromah was forced to exit early from Saturday's game after suffering an ankle injury. It was apparent right away that the injury appeared to be quite serious, as Kromah required a cart to get off the field.
Unfortunately, the worst fears of Florida State fans were confirmed by CBS Sports College Football insider Matt Zenitz in a report on Kromah's status moving forward.

Kromah has essentially been the driving force for the Florida State offense this season, ranking as the third-leading rusher in the ACC this year. So while senior running back Quintrevion Wisner performed well in Kromah's absence, this certainly is a tough blow to a Florida State team that was just on the verge of their biggest win of the season.
On the bright side, Florida State head coach Mike Norvell will get adequate time to put together a game plan moving forward without Kromah, as the Seminoles have a much-needed bye week in Week 8 before returning home in Week 9 to host the Clemson Tigers.
