PASADENA -- The Oregon players who taunted Florida State and quarterback Jameis Winston after the Ducks' Rose Bowl win Thursday will be disciplined, Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said in a statement.
Video shot by numerous media organizations, including the Oregonian, showed several Oregon players chanting "No means no" to the tune of the "Warchant" used by Florida State fans and mimicking the iconic Seminole Tomahawk chop. The gesture was an apparent mocking of Winston and the sexual assault accusations that have followed the former Heisman Trophy winner over the last two seasons.
"We are aware of the inappropriate behavior in the postgame," Helfrich said. "That is not what our program stands for, and the student-athletes will be disciplined internally."
The players doing the chanting in the video are sophomore linebacker Torrodney Prevot, redshirt freshman running back Kani Benoit, sophomore receiver Chance Allen and redshirt freshman safety Tyree Robinson.
Winston was accused by a woman of raping her in 2012, but has never been charged. After long court proceedings, Winston was recently cleared of violating Florida State's student code of conduct.
