FSU QB Deondre Francois knee injury reportedly season ending

What looked bad in fact was just that. It appears the promising season of Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois is over after injuring his knee late in the 24-7 loss to Alabama.

It was a torn patella injury, the Tallahassee Democrat reported Sunday evening. It will require surgery, the paper reported.

The injury occurred when Alabama safety Ronnie Harrison tracked down Francois from behind on a third-down play after the game was decided. Francois immediately clutched his left knee and was taken off in an air cast on a cart.

"I believe it was a side adjust," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said after the game.
