Asked to nitpick his astounding college debut, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston furrowed his brow and thought for a moment.
Forgive him if it took awhile. There wasn't much to choose from.
''I got sacked,'' Winston said. ''I don't like getting sacked.''
OK, so there's one thing. Good luck on coming up with two.
The redshirt freshman nicknamed ''Famous Jameis'' surpassed even his own lofty expectations in the 11th-ranked Seminoles' 41-13 romp over Pittsburgh on Monday night, completing 25 of 27 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns while adding another on the ground in a performance that left everyone but his teammates stunned.
''I wasn't surprised,'' cornerback LaMarcus Joyner said. ''I told him pregame you go against the best every day ... and the way you rip us apart sometimes in scrimmages, we know you can do it against anyone in the nation.''
You won't find Pitt arguing.
The Panthers had been pointing to their ACC opener from the moment the program announced it was leaving the decaying Big East nearly two years ago. Instead, it served as the backdrop for a coming out party that will certainly fuel comparisons to Johnny Manziel's unlikely rise to folk hero and Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M last fall.
''I was certainly impressed with him,'' Pitt coach Paul Chryst said. ''He did a good job of making plays and extending plays.''
