Blackman unquestioned No. 1 QB as Florida State opens spring

FILE - In this Oct. 27, 2018, file photo, Florida State head coach Willie Taggart disagrees with the referee in the first half of an NCAA college football game against Clemson, in Tallahassee, Fla. A month after coach Willie Taggart dismissed two-year starter Deondre Francois, the Seminoles’ No. 1 quarterback is clearly Blackman. When he was dismissed from the team, Taggart said Francois was not living up to the “high expectations” and “standards of conduct” expected of student-athletes. (AP Photo/Mark Wallheiser, File)
