The ongoing sexual assault investigation of Florida State's Jameis Winston has not altered the Seminoles' routine. The quarterback took his normal amount of practice snaps this week as the second-ranked Seminoles prepared for Idaho. The Vandals (1-9) may present Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher an opportunity to brace for a life-without-Winston scenario and get backup quarterback Sean Maguire some much-needed playing time. Florida State has a conduct/discipline policy that states all student-athletes who are charged with a felony are suspended from game participation ''until such time as the charge is resolved and all court, university and athletics department conditions for reinstatement have been met.'' A student-athlete charged with a misdemeanor is subject to the coach's discipline and may not participate in game action until after any required jail time is served.
