Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher plans to start either Chris Thompson or Ty Jones at running back against Louisiana-Monroe.

Nice that Thompson's back and limited practicing hasn't cost him a spot, as there were rumors of a possible redshirt season for him just a week ago.  Noticeably absent is Jermaine Thomas (migraines) as freshman Devonta Freeman is third in line for carries.  All three might be decent options even with just 8-10 carries this weekend
