Florida State coach Mike Norvell won't release a depth chart before Saturday's season opener against New Mexico State, but one of the Seminoles' most intriguing position battles remains at quarterback.
Ashton Daniels has secured the starting job, yet the competition for the No. 2 role continues between sophomore Kevin Sperry and junior college transfer Malachi Marshall. While Sperry entered fall camp as the presumed backup, Marshall's rapid development since arriving this summer has turned the race into one of the team's most closely watched storylines.
The Seminoles open the season against New Mexico State at 7 p.m. Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium, and the pecking order behind Daniels may not become clear until game action unfolds.

Marshall arrived with significant ground to make up. The Iowa Western Community College transfer enrolled during the summer and was tasked with learning Norvell's offense while building chemistry with new teammates in a condensed timeframe.
