College football is magical. If you doubted that, just look at what Doak Campbell Stadium looked like when McKenzie Milton made his Florida State debut.
The UCF transfer who suffered a potentially career ending injury and has spent the last two years fighting his way back onto to the field got into the game because starting quarterback Jordan Travis lost his helmet.
What happened next was incredibe.

McKenzie Milton enters the game. Such a cool moment with all he's been through. And he fires a dime for a 22-yard gain.

I was in the press box when McKenzie Milton went down, and will never forget the silence that enveloped everyone and everything. Now there he is, taking snaps, throwing a dart, making some plays. It is hard to find the words, other than to say truly miraculous.

You can’t help but cheer for Milton. He shouldn’t be able to play right now, given the seriousness of his injury and the complications that followed.
Just getting into the game was incredible, but being able to hit all four of his passes and lead the Seminoles on a touchdown drive against the No. 9 team in the country made it truly special.
