ATLANTA -- The Florida State Seminole's disastrous opener against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night might end up being a lot worse than the final score.
Late in the fourth quarter, Seminoles quarterback Deondre Francois was sacked from behind by Tide linebacker Ronnie Harrison. 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.
The extent of his injury wasn't immediately known. He was taken to a medical tent on FSU's sideline and emerged using a pair of crutches.
