FILE - In this Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018 file photo, Florida State head coach Willie Taggart confers on his headset during the first half of an NCAA college football game against North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C. James Blackman has the confidence of a starting quarterback and with good reason, he was Florida State’s starter in 2017. But Blackman acknowledges he’s in an open QB competition with Wisconsin transfer Alex Hornibrook and others. "We’re going to grade these guys every day on what we ask them to do and see if these guys can take information from the meeting room to the field, and who can run our offense and do it efficiently and do it to where we’re not being careless with the football,” Taggart said.
