Who wants Jameis Winston? Florida State proved it could win without its Heisman-winning quarterback, defeating Clemson 23-17 in overtime.
Truth be told, Clemson lost the match around FSU won it. The Tigers had seven red-zone chances complete, went inside FSU’s 5 twice without scoring, missed two field goals, fumbled once in the red zone and missed on a fourth-and-1 run in overtime. Clemson developed FSU 249-84 in the very first half, including holding the Seminoles to minus-22 rushing yards, but led only 10-3 at halftime.
However, despite being outplayed for much of the night time, FSU shown resiliency without Winston, who had been suspended for the match. Senior tailback Karlos Williams scored the winning TD on a 12-yard run in overtime; the Seminoles finished with only 13 rushing yards when you figure in sacks.
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said Winston — who had been dressed out and in the field in pregame warmups before returning to the locker room and removing his shoulder pads — would come back to practice Monday. While Winston was to the sideline throughout the match (and apparently was featured in every camera photo of FSU’s sideline), he had not been made open to the media following the match.
