Jameis Winston - FSU's freshman quarterback - Number 5
We have heard it all before. This player or that player is going to turn it around for FSU. As an old Seminole fan - one skeptical of saviors. But this may be the chosen one.
Florida State is not known for playing well - at night - on the road - in bad weather - up north. Last night was an exceptional night in Pittsburgh. Just a week ago we visited the 3 rivers town when son Keith got married near there. We were tempted to stay for a week to see FSU play at Heinz Field downtown. But 9 extra days was just too much time away from home and the new building project.
Freshman JAMEIS Winston had not played a down of college football until last night at 8 PM. In just a couple hours - he has moved to the top of the Heisman list among almost everyone in this in Florida Capital City - except the Gator fans. Winston led his team to a 41 -13 victory by completing 26 of 28 passes for over 300 yards. He had 3 touchdown passes and not one interception. He ran for one.
The kid has a supporting cast - a solid experienced line - a ton of receivers - and speedy running backs behind him. Yes - the defense is suspect - a new system and a new coach.
After the game - he had a cool and collected interview. A star is born.
I expect the value of tickets to go up in town this week - even if our next opponent is Nevada. A pass happy offense fills in seats. Last year we seldom paid for than $20 for a ticket on the streets. This kid is going to cost me some money.
Come on - join in - there is an extra seat next to me on the bandwagon.
