Look at this one from Jameis. I was actually at this game.” With that he touched the screen a few times and called up a play from the 2013 Syracuse-Florida State game, and held the phone out for me to see.

“Just watch Jameis here, not the running back,” Licht said. (Here’s [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCb4hkpfsKY']a shaky YouTube clip[/URL] of the same play.)

With FSU at its 26-yard line, Winston handed the ball to running back Levonte Whitfield, and as Whitfield looked for a hole inside, Winston circled back out of the play. Then Whitfield broke through the line to the right, and cut back left, running against the grain, out-running the competition. But there was one cornerback left to beat, Syracuse’s Julian Whigham.

I’m just watching Winston. When he sees Whitfield break through the line, Winston’s at about the 20-yard line, and he starts sprinting as fast as he can up the field. You can see that Winston, once he gets about 30 yards into the sprint, is aiming solely for Whigham. At about the Syracuse 37, Whigham is in position to tackle Whitfield, but here comes Winston, 43 yards into a dead sprint, lunging at Whigham and blocking him out of the play. An amazing effort play by Winston.

“You’d think I’d show you a pass play, right?’’ said Licht. “That was a competitive play—it shows you so much about the player.
