Why did Willie Taggart start Deondre Francois against Notre Dame?

Willie Taggart made a decision in August that has yet to make sense to me. The decision to start Deondre Francois at quarterback over James Blackman and Bailey Hockman.

The best I can make of things is Willie Taggart decided to hand the reigns over to Francois as that was the best chance he had at keeping two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.

He handed the team over to a guy that missed the entire spring and some summer, who has questionable leadership ability while also alienating a lot of teammates last season.

His performances this season outside of the Wake Forest game (who has one of the worst defenses in the nation) have been largely abysmal.
