A few Oregon football players figured they’d throw a little salt in the wound after their big win Thursday night.
The Ducks steamrolled Florida State 59-20 in the Rose Bowl to advance to the national championship game. Their celebration, however, has a few players in hot water.
Some team members were caught on tape mocking Florida State’s “Warchant” while taking a shot at Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston. The Oregon players instead chanted “No means no,” an obvious dig at the sexual assault allegations Winston faced.

The chant, as clever as it might be, could end up costing those players. Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich acknowledged the actions in a statement, and those players now face further discipline.
“We are aware of the inappropriate behavior in the postgame,” Helfrich said in a statement released by the school. “This is not what our program stands for, and the student-athletes will be disciplined internally.”
The three players caught on camera doing the chant were Torrodney Prevot, Kani Benoit and Chance Allen, according to The Associated Press. Only Benoit, a redshirt freshman running back, even played in the win over FSU. He ran for 40 yards on four carries.
