Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher confirmed the Tallahas
see Democrat report from Sunday that redshirt sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois would be out for the season. Francois was tackled from behind in the final minutes of the Seminoles 24-7 loss to Alabama on Saturday. He is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday to repair a torn patellar tendon in his left knee. Fisher said true freshman James
Blackman would start against Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday.
Oklahoma cornerback Jordan Parker will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury suffered in the first quarter of the opener against Texas-El Paso. Coach Lincoln Riley said the sophomore likely would need surgery. Parker started the final eight games in 2016 and was a reserve vs. UTEP. The No. 8 Sooners next play at No. 2 Ohio State.
