Florida State expected to host Central Arkansas

Florida State enters its Week 4 matchup with FCS Central Arkansas seeking a response after surrendering a 21-6 lead in a 50-36 loss to Alabama. The Seminoles are heavily favored, and a comfortable win could give backup quarterbacks Malachi Marshall and Kevin Sperry a chance to play. Marshall appears to have an edge for the No. 2 role, though coaches say both backups remain in competition. The debate over a possible quarterback change comes as starter Ashton Daniels has thrown four touchdowns and four interceptions this season, including three picks against Alabama; supporters of a change argue the game is a timely opportunity to assess the backups, while Daniels also had his strongest game as a Seminole. Central Arkansas, 1-2 after a loss to Southeast Missouri State, is led by quarterback Donovyn Omolo, whose rushing ability adds another challenge for a Florida State defense that struggled against Alabama.
