Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois will be out for the season after suffering a patella tendon injury in his left knee in the Seminoles' 24-7 loss to Alabama on Saturday.
Francois is expected to have surgery this week.
The injury was first reported by the Tallahassee Democrat and confirmed by ESPN.
Late in the fourth quarter, Crimson Tide safety Ronnie Harrison sacked Francois from behind. Francois stayed on the turf after clutching his left knee. He was helped to his feet by trainers, but couldn't put any weight on his leg while leaving the field.
