There is no position at any other school in the nation that is in the Florida State quarterback situation. There have been players who have transferred, quit, never signed, or have been dismissed. All of which can make for a lonely quarterback meeting room.<\/p>\n
James Blackmon<\/strong> will return this season as the only signal-caller with experience. It was presumed that he would battle Deondre Francois<\/a><\/strong> for the starting position this season, with the loser of the competition expected to transfer. However, Francois was kicked off the team earlier this month after his girlfriend accused his of domestic violence, which made the battle a moot point.<\/p>\n Blackmon is now in the driver\u2019s seat to run new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 offense. The updated scheme will cater to Blackmon\u2019s talents as the Noles plan to spread the field, throw deep, go up tempo, all while still utilizing the run with talented running back\u00a0Cam Akers<\/a><\/strong>. Still, Blackmon is lonely on the depth chart with the departures and FSU\u2019s inability to sign a high school quarterback over the past two years.<\/p>\n
