Late Pass Interference call erases would be game winning TD for ND as FSU escapes with 31-27 win

TALLAHASSEE—Jameis Winston prevailed after another week of controversy and threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns to lead No. 2 Florida State to 31-27 win over No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday.The Seminoles (7-0, 5-0 ACC) used a second-half comeback with the season on the line to topple the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame (6-1) is the last ranked team FSU’s schedule and the win may be its last chance to make a decisive impression on the College Football Playoff selection committee.Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns, but Winston won the duel in the second half as he completed his first 13 passes against a defense that had Florida State flustered for the first 30 minutes.The Irish moved to the 2-yard line on the final drive, but an offensive pass interference call killed the drive.Florida State said this week it was investigating whether Winston received benefits for autographs being sold online.
