backline from the quarterfinal win against the Brumbies remains in

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois is expected to start the Seminoles opener, but he is not taking ownership of the offense yet.I dont ever say its my offense until Coach [Jimbo] Fisher tells me its my offense, Francois said. Ill just continue to do what he tells me to do and continue to practice hard every day.Francois, a redshirt freshman, is the clear leader to start Sept. 5 against Ole Miss in Orlando, Florida, after senior quarterback Sean Maguire?suffered a broken bone in his right foot that will sideline him for four weeks. Maguire will undergo surgery Monday.An Orlando native and elite high school quarterback, Francois said he isnt worried about making his first start in his hometown or facing Ole Miss, which ended 2015 ranked No. 10, on Labor Day.I dont think the lights will be too bright. I believe in my preparation, and everything Coach Fisher has taught me is to stay humble and continue to trust the process, he said. If I prepare well and I continue to do everything I need to do and everything he tells me to do, I feel like Ill be fine.Francois said it was tough to hear that Maguire would miss four weeks after they worked out together throughout the offseason. Despite competing against each other for the starting position, Francois said the fifth-year senior routinely helped him grasp the offense.Maguire broke the bone on the second day of practice but tried to play on it the next few days. Following an MRI, the team doctor told Maguire the injury would get progressively worse without surgery.I worked my tail off this summer. I didnt go home for spring break or in May when we were off. I was here rehabbing this foot, and when this [left] one got healthy, I got up every morning at 6 a.m. with the linemen, Maguire said. These past few days have went pretty bad.... Thats the most disappointing because of what I went through this whole offseason as far as rehab and working out and watching Ole Miss tape. Ive never felt more ready for a season.Expected to be the starter in 2015, Maguire lost the job to transfer Everett Golson the week of the season opener. Maguire would be shuffled in and out of the lineup during the second half of the season before being named the starter after leading a comeback win off the bench. He suffered a broken left ankle in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl but returned to the game. He missed spring practice recovering from surgery.The expectation is Maguire will be ready for the second or third week of the season.After the surgery, he said, its all hands on deck to be back to full strength.

Super Rugby has arrived at its final four with the Hurricanes, Lions, Chiefs and Highlanders left fighting for southern hemisphere supremacy.Saturday, July 30Hurricanes v Chiefs, Westpac Stadium, Wellington?Key stat (Opta Stats)The Hurricanes have won nine of their last 11 games against the Chiefs on home turf, though they lost their last such encounter by one point in Round 9 earlier this season.The Hurricanes have lost all six of their playoff games against fellow New Zealand teams in Super Rugby, including a 14-10 defeat to the Chiefs in 2009.Line-upsHurricanes:?James Marshall, Cory Jane, Matt Proctor, Willis Halaholo, Jason Woodward, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara; Victor Vito, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Michael Fatialofa, Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Dane Coles/Ricky Riccitelli, Loni Uhila. Replacements: Ricky Riccitelli, Leni Apisai, Chris Eves, Mike Kainga, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, Jamison Gibson Park, Vince Aso, Julian Savea.Chiefs:?Damian McKenzie, Sam McNicol, Seta Tamanivalu, Anton Lienert-Brown, James Lowe, Aaron Cruden (co-capt), Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Tom Sanders, Sam Cane (co-capt), Taleni Seu, Brodie Retallick, Dominic Bird, Atu Moli, Nathan Harris, Kane Hames. Res: Hika Elliot, Siegfried Fisiihoi, Mitchell Graham, Lachlan Boshier, Michael Leitch, Brad Weber, Toni Pulu, Shaun Stevenson.Team NewsHurricanes captain Dane Coles?will be given until match day to prove his fitness after a nasty knock to the ribs last weekend against the Sharks. Coach Chris Boyd has otherwise named an unchanged side to the one that triumphed 41-0 last week, with All Blacks winger Julian Savea again left on the bench.The Chiefs have made two key changes, Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Seta Tamanivalu included.?Kerr-Barlow is promoted from the bench after his sides crushing 60-21 quarterfinal win over the Stormers, while Fiji-born Tamanivalu returns from a knee knock. Incumbent halfback Brad Weber drops to the bench. Elsewhere, the team retains the same shape as in South Africa.UBET verdict: Hurricanes $1.57, Chiefs $2.40.?The Chiefs have travelled Fiji-Brisbane-Dunedin-Cape Town-Wellington in the last four weeks, and it appears as though UBET customers think that will catch up with them semifinals. The Hurricanes have been very well backed to progress, and although six of the last seven matches in Wellington between these two sides have been decided by six points or less, most have written the Chiefs off. It is worth noting that the Chiefs did win here (28-27) back in April.?Greg Growdens verdict:?Keep an eye on the fitness of Hurricanes skipper Dane Coles, as his omission will be a shot in the arm for the Chiefs. Still, I think the Hurricanes halves, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett, will earn the Wellington side a second straight home final.Lions v Highlanders, Emirates Airlines Park,?JohannesburgKey stat (Optaa Stats)The Lions have won eight of their 10 home games this season, however both of their defeats on their own patch in 2016 have come at the hands of teams from New Zealand.ddddddddddddThe Highlanders have won their last three away games, only once before have they won four on the trot (2005).Line-upsLions:?Andries Coetzee, Ruan Combrinck, Lionel Mapoe, Rohan Janse van Rensburg, Courtnall Skosan, Elton Jantjies, Faf de Klerk, Ruan Ackermann, Warwick Tecklenburg, Jaco Kriel (captain), Franco Mostert, Andries Ferreira, Julian Redelinghuys, Malcolm Marx, Dylan Smith Replacements: Armand van der Merwe, Corne Fourie, Jacques van Rooyen, Lourens Erasmus, Steph de Witt, Dillon Smit, Howard Mnisi, Jaco van der Walt.Highlanders:?Ben Smith (captain), Waisake Naholo, Matt Faddes, Malakai Fekitoa, Patrick Osborne, Lima Sopoaga, Aaron Smith, Luke Whitelock, James Lentjes, Elliot Dixon, Tom Franklin, Alex Ainley, Josh Hohneck, Ash Dixon, Daniel Lienert-Brown Replacements: Greg Pleasants-Tate, Aki Seiuli, Ross Geldenhuys, Joe Wheeler, Liam Squire, Dan Pryor, Te Aihe Toma, Marty Banks.Team NewsJaco Kriel will lead the Lions?after regular skipper Warren Whiteley was ruled out with a calf injury. Ruan Ackermann will start at No 8 in Whiteleys position, while Steph de Witt comes in on the bench. Dillon Smit will also provide scrum-half cover on the bench, replacing Ross Cronje who is ruled out with an ankle injury.Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph, has three changes to his starting forward pack, bringing in loose forward James Lentjes for Shane Christie, and lock Alex Ainley for Luke Whitelock who moves to number eight. The starting backline from the quarterfinal win against the Brumbies remains intact.UBET verdict:?Lions $1.80, Highlanders $2.00.?The only blot on the form of the Lions recently was when they fielded their B side in Argentina two weeks ago. The Lions have had a very good draw leading into the finals, and disposed of the Crusaders in impressive fashion last week. The Hurricanes were at home to the Lions in March, and recorded a big 34-15 victory; but the Lions have improved a lot since then, and the Highlanders face the same problem that as the Chiefs, they have had an arduous travel campaign over the last five weeks. Money is split between the pair, but the Lions are slight favourites.Greg Growdens verdict:?Youve just got to admire what Jamie Joseph has been able to do with this Highlanders team over the last couple of years -- theyve been exceptional. That being said, their passports have been stamped so often lately that youve got to think its finally going to catch up with them. Im tipping the Lions, but expect this one to be decided in the final few minutes. ' ' '
