FSU Football: Willie Taggart makes right call in starting Francois for opener

For the third straight season, the FSU football team is going to have the same quarterback under center when they take the first snaps of the year – only this time, there was a question about whether that player was going to be able to do so after what took place one year ago.

After months of questions and debate, head coach Willie Taggart announced on Monday that redshirt junior Deondre Francois – who was sidelined after a serious knee injury in last year’s opener against Alabama – will get his starting job back when the Seminoles take the field in one week against Virginia Tech.
