Could Sean Maguie "Wally Pip" Jameis Winston? |
QB Sean Maguire is Winston's replacement.
What if Florida State routs Clemson without Jameis Winston?
Does it cause a quarterback controversy.
Let's be honest. The only reason Winston has not been released is because he led the 'Noles to a National Championship last season.
The betting line in the Clemson at FSU game is down to 15.5, with FSU favored.
Sunday night - before Winston was suspended- Florida State was as much as a 20.5-point favorite.
What may be getting overlooked is the amount of talent Clemson lost since its 51-14 loss to FSU in 2013.
Maybe it would be wise to expect Florida State to cover. Without QB Tajh Boyd and WR Sammy Watkins, Clemson may be in a rebuilding mode.
While the Seminoles may be missing a key part of its offense in Winston, Clemson is missing more.
Expect FSU to roll. And if the fans fall in love with Maguire, Winston may be put on a short string, with very little needed before he is cut loose.
An uncontrollable player can be a major distraction to a team. Coaches need to be able to ficus equally on all players. A player who proves to be undisciplined off-the-field can become a disease.
If Maguire does well, and FSU rolls, he may represent a cure for what is ailing the Florida State program.
PS: the over/under bet is 60.5. Without the scoring threats for Clemson, it may be hard to reach 60.5 points.
