Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston will not play Saturday night against Clemson
Florida State dropped some big news late Friday night.
After originally stating that Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston would be suspended for the first half of Saturday night’s game against Clemson, the school announced via a statement from interim president Garnett Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox that Winston would sit for the entire game.
“Based upon the results of our continuing investigation of Tuesday’s incident involving Jameis Winston, we have decided to not play him for the entire game against Clemson on Saturday night,” the statement read.
Winston’s suspension stems from a Tuesday incident in which he stood on a table and yelled an obscene phrase in the student union on Florida State’s campus. A number of students saw Winston yell the phrase and tweeted about what they saw.
The tweets about the incident soon spread all across the Internet and on Wednesday, the school announced that Winston would be suspended for the first half of the top-ranked Seminoles’ game against No. 22 Clemson.
Winston issued an apology Wednesday afternoon, shortly after the initial suspension was announced.
"First of all I want to apologize to the university, to my coaches and to my teammates," Winston said. “I'm not a 'me' person, but in that situation it was a selfish act and that's not how you do things around here. I really want to apologize to my teammates, because I've now made a selfish act for them.”
Winston’s backup, redshirt sophomore Sean Maguire, will start in Winston’s place. It will be his first career start.

Michigan cancels plans to deliver game ball via drone after communicating with FAA
Michigan had plans to deliver the game ball for its Saturday afternoon contest against Utah via a drone.
No, really. An unmanned aircraft would have brought the ball to midfield before kickoff, but after communicating with the Federal Aviation Administration, Michigan halted those plans.
Bloomberg News is reporting that the school “backed down” from its plans after the FAA explained that a temporary flight restriction was put in place over the stadium during the game.
“The FAA promotes voluntary compliance by educating UAS operators how they can operate safely under current regulations and laws,” the FAA said in a statement.
The FAA does not permit commercial drone flights outside of Alaska, although pilots who fly drones recreationally can do so while following strict safety guidelines. Part of those guidelines includes avoiding large crowds. I think a crowd of over 100,000 fans at Michigan Stadium falls under that requirement unfortunately.
Part of Saturday’s pre-game festivities were supposed to include an homage to Michigan’s aerospace program, including a World War II bomber and other plane flyovers.
The game is set to kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET.

VOD: Apple's Tim Cook responds to a 'Roll Tide' with a 'War Eagle'
Were you one of the (un)fortunate people who waited in line for an iPhone 6 on Friday? If you were in Palo Alto, Calif., you would have had the opportunity to see Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Cook is a noted Auburn alum and so someone decided the best way to get Cook's attention would be to shout "Roll Tide." And sure enough, Cook heard it and immediately responded with a "War Eagle." We're thinking that "Roll Tide" would have been much more effective had Auburn lost to Kansas State Thursday night. Instead, the Tigers won 20-14.
In December, Cook got a lifetime achievement award from Auburn and used his speech to take the opportunity to troll Alabama about Chris Davis' kick return with a second on the clock in the 2013 Iron Bowl.

What to Watch, Week 4: Will Jameis Winston doom or save Florida State's playoff hopes?
In a week that’s been dominated by the lame off-field antics of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, it’s refreshing to see college football on the horizon.
But before we get to Week 4, let’s take a quick look back at what you might have missed last week.
Vanderbilt got its first win in the Derek Mason Era thanks to a missed 22-yard field goal by UMass. And a Vandy player even gave the sad kicker a hug.
Speaking of the SEC, South Carolina wants the college football world to know its not dead yet.
Texas made the worst coin toss decision in the history of coin tosses.
This QB got hurt...
And this QB got hurt...
And then this young man became a hero...
I think that’s everything. Let’s look ahead to this week:
Game of the week:
No. 22 Clemson vs. No. 1 Florida State, 8 p.m. ET
This game was intriguing before Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was suspended for a half, but now all eyes will be on this contest Saturday night. Even without Winston for the first 30 minutes, the Seminoles are a two-touchdown favorite, but Clemson should keep this close. Florida State didn’t look especially good against Oklahoma State. It has a slew of young receivers and a running game that hasn’t been too good so far. The offensive line also is a question, especially with a new signal caller. If Clemson can score early and often, it’s gonna put a lot of pressure on new quarterback Sean Maguire, which could lead to some big mistakes.
Game to watch:
No. 4 Oklahoma vs. West Virginia, 7:30 p.m. ET
West Virginia’s offense is fast, but is it fast enough to keep up with Oklahoma? In the first half this season, Oklahoma has outscored its opponents 82-10, including 55-0 in the first quarter. Of course, the competition hasn’t nearly been to the level of what West Virginia has faced so far this season. The Mountaineers played step-for-step with Alabama in the season opener and got a big win against Maryland last week. However, the theme in those games was a severe lack of defense, something that has not plagued the Sooners so far this season.
Also check out…
Florida vs. No. 3 Alabama, 3:30 p.m. ET
I’m not sure anyone knows yet what to make of Florida. Its blowout against Eastern Michigan and controversial overtime win against Kentucky didn't provide a whole lot of clarity as to whether Florida was a better team than a year ago. This game, however, should do the trick. It’s clear Alabama is the class of the SEC, but it’s defense has been spotty at times (see West Virginia game). There’s an opportunity for Florida to make this an interesting game, but it’s going to have to contain the Alabama running game, which is something no team has done yet this season.
Don't waste your time with:
No. 2 Oregon vs. Washington State, 10:30 p.m. ET
Last year, this game was a lot of fun. Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday threw like 1,000 passes (actually, it was 89, but close enough) in an attempt to keep up with the high velocity Oregon offense and still lost 62-38. It would be surprising to see the Cougars get that close this year. If you want to watch Oregon put up 50, by all means, tune in. But the Cal-Arizona game is a much better Pac-12 option during the 10 ET hour.
Keep an eye on:
Sean Maguire, QB, Florida State
Sean Maguire is in an unenviable position right now as Florida State’s playoff hopes hinge on his untested arm. Maguire will make his first start and attempt to keep the Seminoles in the game before starter Jameis Winston is paroled and back for the second half. Maguire doesn’t have to be Winston, he just has to manage the game and make sure he limits his mistakes. If he can keep his nerves in check, he should be able to navigate the Seminoles through the half.
Upset alert:
Virginia (+15) at BYU, 3:30 p.m. ET
Apparently, the thinking in Vegas is that this year’s Virginia team is like last year’s team and that’s just not true. While the offense is suspect, the defense has been nails all year and that won’t change even against a prolific running like BYU quarterback Taysom Hill. This is going to be a test for sure, but I have a hard time seeing Virginia lose to the Cougars by two touchdowns.

Kansas State said it had to change signals at halftime against Auburn
Kansas State felt Auburn had figured out its offensive signals.
KSU coach Bill Snyder told ESPN's Samantha Ponder at halftime of the Wildcats' loss to Auburn Thursday night that "They're getting our signals" and that the Wildcats changed some at halftime.
After the game, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn denied Snyder's claim that the Tigers knew KSU's signals.
It's not the first time that this accusation has been leveled against Auburn. You may remember that during the BCS Championship Game, Florida State put towels over its offensive signal-givers after the Seminoles felt Auburn had its signals.
Auburn assistant coach Dameyune Craig was a former assistant for Florida State, and the Noles felt that Craig had their signals. In the first half of the BCS Championship, Auburn jumped out to a 21-3 lead before losing 34-31.
Thursday night, Kansas State's loss was due to an inability to get out of its own way. The Wildcats missed three field goals and dropped a surefire TD in the end zone that turned into an interception in a 20-14 loss.
While there wasn't a similar situation of a coach with dual familiarity here, is stealing football signs fair game? While stealing signs in baseball is against one of baseball's ridiculous and sacred unwritten rules, there is a clear reason that signals given out in the open are disguised.
And it's why you see a lot of the ridiculous sign boards with pictures of famous people and products on the sidelines of teams that signal in plays from coaches and players on the field. A lot of times, those pictures mean nothing. But coaches watching game film can pick up what the real signals are via game film.
What do you think? Is signal-investigating an acceptable practice? And what do you want to bet that Auburn's opponents the rest of the season will be changing signs before and not during games?

Dabo Swinney doesn't care about asterisks if Clemson beats Florida State
With Jameis Winston out for the first half Saturday night because of a suspension, Clemson has a big opportunity to jump out to a first-half lead.
Winston was suspended by Florida State for the first 30 minutes because of a lewd remark he yelled at the FSU student union on Tuesday. If FSU struggles in his absence with QB Sean Maguire and Clemson wins, there will undoubtedly be wondering if the Noles would have won with Winston playing the entire game.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney doesn't care about that.
“Georgia beat us. Did we put an asterisk by that?," Swinney said Wednesday after practice (via TigerNet.com.) "We didn’t have three senior starters,” Swinney said outside of the indoor practice facility. “You don’t think Corey Crawford, David Beasley and Garry Peters could’ve made difference? How about Sam Cooper? Do we put an asterisk by that Georgia win? Three guys from Georgia that game that were important too and I didn’t have to sit them that game. Heck, no. They beat us. Period. There’s no asterisk by that. Give me a break."
Swinney then channeled the 2010 BCS Championship Game. Texas AB Colt McCoy was hurt early in the game against Alabama and the Crimson Tide won with Texas backup QB Garrett Gilbert playing the rest of the game.
“I watched Alabama beat Texas a few years ago and Colt McCoy went out in the first couple of series. I don’t think there’s an asterisk on that crystal ball down there in Tuscaloosa (Al.). They won the game. I think we’ve got a national championship trophy in there where we beat Nebraska. I don’t think they played Turner Gill in that game but it still says national championship. I’m not getting into all of that stuff. If we’re good enough to win no matter who’s on the field. If we’re not, we won’t. Bottom line.”
Swinney has the right mindset. And besides, asterisk or not, Clemson goes into the ACC Atlantic driver's seat with a win. It'll have the head-to-head tiebreaker over Florida State and could have the opportunity to play and win another gam in the ACC Championship.
Would it be enough to get into a College Football Playoff? Who knows. The selection committee may give the proverbial asterisk to Florida State's loss. However, for ACC purposes, if Clemson wins and goes to the title game, there will be no asterisk.
