Jameis Winston pushes official out of the way

Jameis Winston shoved an official out of the way in order to snap the ball during Saturday's game vs. Boston College.

Jameis Winston has quite a few detractors, and they won't be giving him any support after the Florida State quarterback pushed an official out of the way during Saturday's game vs. Boston College.

In fairness to Winston, the referee was still in the middle of the line of scrimmage after the play clock had begun ticking, as can be seen in this video on Deadspin. But Winston also should've been flagged for making contact with the official.

Either way, Florida State picked up a first down on the play as Winston hit Dalvin Cook for a 7-yard pass and first down.
