TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says the debate about Jameis Winston’s contact with an official is much ado about nothing.
Fisher said Monday there was no ”ill will” intended, just confusion about the position of the official.
The Atlantic Coast Conference has said there was nothing ”unsportsmanlike” about the play.
There was no penalty called when Winston made contact with the center judge behind FSU’s center. The official tried to stop Winston by giving him a stop sign. He was holding up the play to allow Boston College to substitute players when Winston muscled in while Florida State was running a hurry-up offense.
The ACC added an eighth official to the field in 2014 and Fisher said they aren’t used to that new official being in that spot.
