Football:
For the second year in a row FSU has lost an important piece of the team in September as Deondre Francois will miss the season due to a knee injury.
Meet James Blackman; your new QB1.
Here’s what we learned on offense, defense, and special teams (woof) following the loss to Alabama.
The Seminoles remain optimistic despite Francois’ injury.
Paul Finebaum is skeptical of FSU’s playoff hopes now.
Many across the country are hoping for a speedy recovery for Deondre Francois including Kirk Herbstreit and the man that delivered the hit:
Can't tell you how bad I feel for @_Dirtie12. Just heard you're out for the year-I'm very sorry to hear this-You'll come back even stronger!

Praying for @_Dirtie12 , Hit was Not Intentional! I hope you have a speedy recovery bra! #BiggerThanAGame #Respect ✊ ‼️

Bruce Feldman no longer thinks FSU is a top ten team (before the Deondre news broke); makes you think.
Cam Akers and Derwin James impressed NFL Network’s lead draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah.

All three of FSU receivers will find themselves on NFL practice squads:
WR Travis Rudolph will be signing on to the Giants practice squad, according to a source. ... That should make Giants fans very happy.

Congratulations to them; the NFL season is long and brutal they could very easily find themselves on the 53-man roster soon.
Marquez White was a somewhat surprising cut for the Cowboys but they managed to get him back on their practice squad.
