Deondre Francois had an appropriate answer when he assessed his performance last season — bumpy.
The Florida State quarterback is hoping things go a little smoother in his sophomore season.
"I feel like last year was a blessing because I learned a lot. Every game, I feel like a learned a lot," he said. "I know my strengths and my weaknesses. I have to continue to focus on my strengths and don't forget about them just to get my weaknesses up. But get my weaknesses up too."
As Florida State's second freshman quarterback in four seasons, Francois led the Seminoles to 10 wins, directed six fourth-quarter rallies (including four wins) and threw for the fifth-most yards in school history (3,350).
