Report: Florida State star QB Deondre Francois suffers season-ending knee injury
It would appear that Florida State's worst fears have been realized. According to the Tallahassee Democrat, quarterback Deondre Francois is indeed out for the seasonwith a patella tendon injury. Francois is expected to have surgery on his knee on Tuesday, according to the paper.
Francois, a redshirt sophomore, had his leg rolled up on while he was being sacked during the fourth quarter of Florida State's 24-7 loss to Alabama on Saturday in Atlanta. Francois stayed on the ground clutching his left knee and had to be helped off the field. He was put into an air cast on the Florida State sideline and carted off the field.
Alabama safety Ronnie Harrison, who sacked Francois on the play, already took to Twitter to wish Francois a speedy recovery.

Coach Jimbo Fisher has not yet confirmed the severity of Francois' injury. However, Fisher did say after the Alabama game that James Blackman will start. Florida State's next game is against Louisiana-Monroe.
