Jameis Winston’s halftime rant during Florida State’s comeback win over Ole Miss Monday has gone viral. But the Bucs and former Seminoles quarterback said he knew players needed to hear some straight talk.
“I just didn’t want those kids to be looking like that on national TV,’’ Winston said. “Coach Fisher, he’s a great coach and I knew they had it in them. Just had to light some fire. Tell you about that No. 12 (quarterback Deondre Francois) for Florida State, baby. He’s a baller.’’
Winston said Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher, despite losing his voice, lit into players pretty well.
