A post on a gambling-related website suggested the link between the two players prompted Rabb to place a $5,500 bet on the first-half spread of the FSU-Louisville game. FSU was favored, but trailed by two touchdowns at the half. Winston threw two interceptions in the first half and three total, but he went on to pass for 401 yards and three touchdowns, rallying the Seminoles to a 41-32 victory in the second half.
The gambling website listed no direct link to Winston, but it included an extensive list of bets allegedly placed by Rabb.
Point shaving is a criminal offense, while betting can be legal in some instances but is a violation of NCAA rules.
TMZ reported Friday that UAB was investigating the allegations.

Couple of months and then get out of FSU and see if he can make it in
