Oregon stomped out the Florida State Seminoles 59-20 in Thursday night's Rose Bowl installment of the inaugural College Football Playoff, but the Ducks saved their biggest insult for after the game was over.
Basking in the post-game glow of confetti and an adoring crowd, multiple Oregon players were caught on camera gesturing and singing "No Means No" in the cadence of the famous Florida State tomahawk chop.
FSU QB Compares Accuser to a Rapist
There's little doubt that the Oregon players were engaging in a little schadenfreude at the expense of Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston was accused of sexually assaulting a fellow FSU student in late 2012. The Tallahassee police department originally declined to press any charges against him in 2013, citing a lack of evidence. He was later subjected to an official Florida State Code of Conduct hearing -- overseen by a third party judge -- in which he was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing.

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich was not happy with his players' impromptu behavior Thursday.
"We are aware of the inappropriate behavior in the postgame," he said, via the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "This is not what our programs stand for, and the student-athletes will be disciplined internally."
