Seminoles survive scare from Tigers without Winston.

This past weekend I went to Tallahassee to see Florida State play Clemson in football, and boy what a game it was! First of all, to give a brief background, FSU was playing without starting quarterback Jameis Winston because he was being punished for yelling sexually charged obscenities in FSU's student union just days before the big game. So, as a result of his one game suspension backup quarterback Sean Maguire was given his first start of his short college career against the Clemson Tigers. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous going into this game especially since Clemson is the biggest competition in the ACC for the Seminoles. But despite a dismal rushing game, Maguire did just enough for the 'Noles, passing for 305 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. However, the second interception nearly cost FSU the game, Clemson had the ball inside their 20 yard line with less than two minutes to play. But then Clemson fumbled the ball, allowing FSU to push the game into overtime! Clemson had the ball first in overtime, and decided to go for it on 4th and 1 since they had problems kicking all night. And when FSU stopped the Tigers short of the first down, the stadium erupted. And two plays later Karlos Williams Jr. waltzed into the endzone to seal the game for the Seminoles. Check out the highlights incase you missed the action:
