Dwayne Stukes couldn't help it. As he spent his bye week watching top-ranked Florida State flounder in Death Valley, one thought kept crossing his mind: Peter Warrick looked rusty. The Seminoles' premier playmaker missed the two contests prior to Clemson while his attorneys struck a plea bargain to reduce a felony theft charge to a misdemeanor and get the Hesiman contender back on the field.
