Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah has season-ending surgery in loss to Miami

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah will miss the remainder of the season following surgery on his leg during the team's 43-35 loss to Miami on Saturday night. Kromah, a sophomore, underwent the procedure in Miami and has been transferred back to Tallahassee, where he is anticipated to make a complete recovery. The school announced the news in a statement on Sunday.

Kromah, the Seminoles' leading rusher, had 114 carries for 609 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and five touchdowns in the previous six games. He entered the game against Miami with a strong performance, but was unable to continue due to his injury.

With Kromah sidelined, freshman Amari Thomas and Tre Wisner are expected to see increased playing time. Wisner, who had a notable performance in the previous game, is now the team's primary lead back. Thomas, who has three carries for 11 yards, will also contribute more to the offense.

Florida State (3-4, 1-3 ACC) will enter a bye week with key injuries to Kromah and Samuel Singleton Jr., the latter of whom is out for an indefinite period. The Seminoles will face Clemson on October 31.
