Who To Watch

Clemson at Florida State (Sat 8:00pm ET ABC)
It’s a bye week, Irish fans. Hug your spouse, go outside and play with your children…or watch more college football. If recent events are to be believed, nothing will keep Jameis Winston out of Saturday’s prime-time clash with Clemson — neither unsavory female allegations, nor crab leg theft (pictured), nor the obscene remarks he reportedly (allegedly?) shouted from atop a table in the student union this week.
Assuming that head coach Jimbo Fisher clears the way for his reigning Heisman quarterback to see the field this weekend (at least in the second half), you can marvel at his on-field prowess…then prepare for the nightmare fuel that awaits the depleted Notre Dame defense on October 18.
