Jimbo Fisher threatens to bench Jameis Winston if he doesn't calm down (Video)

Florida State Seminoles head football coach Jimbo Fisher threatened to send quarterback Jameis Winston to the bench if he didn't calm down as things unraveled near the end of the third quarter of their College Football Playoff semifinal game against Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

It happened with 1:35 remaining in the third quarter after an inexplicable Winston fumble (with no contact from an Oregon player) was run back 58 yards for a touchdown, making the score 45-20. It's not clear what Winston was arguing for, but Fisher could clearly be seen saying "God d***it, if you don't calm the f*** down, you're going to the bench."

Winston remains in the game, but things have not improved for Florida State as the Oregon stampede has continued. With nearly 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Oregon now leads Florida State 59-20.
