Florida State starting Everett Golson at quarterback vs. NC State

Florida State will start Everett Golson at quarterback over Sean Maguire against NC State on Saturday, the team announced on its depth chart.

Golson took first-team snaps at practice Thursday, according to reports. After transferring from Notre Dame in the off-season, Golson, a senior, started the first seven games of the season before sustaining a concussion Oct. 24 against Georgia Tech. Maguire, a junior, started the past two weeks, leading the Seminoles to a win over Syracuse but struggling in a loss to No. 1 Clemson.
