Jameis Winston, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who was accused of sexual assault in 2012, will sit out the first half of Florida State University's game Saturday after several students reported seeing him stand on a table and yell a sexual epithet in the student union. (For those who are offended by explicit language, be warned about reading further.)

Numerous students tweeted about the incident on Tuesday, Deadspin reported, with Winston reportedly yelling "Fuck her right in the pussy." The saying is associated with an Internet meme based on a fake viral video -- a prank of sorts where passersby say the phrase during live news broadcasts.

“As a result of his comments yesterday, which were offensive and vulgar, Jameis Winston will undergo internal discipline and will be withheld from competition for the first half of the Clemson game,” the university said in a statement Wednesday.
