Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah was carted off late in the second quarter on Oct. 17, 2026, against No. 3 Miami at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens after injuring his left leg on a 9-yard run to the Miami 2-yard line, with 1:53 left in the half per USA Today. Sources describe him running over a defender before two Miami defenders brought him down; he tried to hop to the sideline on one leg, then went down midfield. Staff applied an air cast to the left leg and called for the cart. Teammates knelt around the cart and offered handshakes as Kromah shed tears leaving. He had 14 carries for 44 yards. On the next play Ashton Daniels ran for a 2-yard touchdown and held up a 3-2 fingers gesture; the game was tied 14-14 at halftime. Sports Illustrated and USA Today reported 609 rushing yards and five touchdowns this season; a wire summary said he entered with 565 yards and five TDs. SI added 114 carries and 11 receptions for 97 yards and named Quintrevion Wisner, Amari Thomas, Zay Parks, and Gavin Markey as healthy backs left with Samuel Singleton Jr. already out. Headlines split between ankle and left-leg wording. No official diagnosis or return timeline is in the record.

What each side asserts, disputes — or leaves out entirely.
Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Miami got lucky on that play. Without Kromah the Seminoles will struggle to move the ball on the ground.
That leg injury looked bad near the goal line. The team needs to protect what depth they have left or the running game is done.
Kromah was doing okay with 44 yards but now FSU is down two backs and the backups look shaky against Miami.
