Jameis Winston will not play against Clemson on Saturday.
Florida State announced late Friday night that the Heisman-winning quarterback will sit the entire game. The school had originally decided to sit Winston for the first half after an incident Tuesday in which Winston repeatedly yelled an obscene phrase while in the student union.
"Based upon the results of the 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," read a statement from the school.
CNN's Rachel Nichols reported Winston's suspension was extended after Florida State's administration "discovered he'd not been entirely truthful with them." That report was corroborated by Fox Sports.
Obviously, this is huge news.
Odds are good that Florida State could have survived at home without Winston available in the first half, but for the entire game? That makes the situation a lot murkier, and there's no telling how this will affect the Florida State gameplan with the decision coming less than 24 hours until the Seminoles kick off.
Redshirt sophomore Sean Maguire, who was in the same recruiting class as Winston, will start in Winston's place. He's appeared in only five games for the Noles, completing 16-of-26 passes for 144 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
