TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State has suspended starting linebacker Christian Jones and defensive tackle Eddie Goldman for Saturday night's game against Bethune-Cookman, coach Jimbo Fisher announced Thursday.
Fisher said both players are suspended for a violation of team rules, but he declined to provide additional details about the incidents.
"It is [disappointing], but it's all correctable, and it's all done," Fisher said. "But we have to go abide by a certain set of guidelines."
Jones, a three-year starter for Florida State, led the team in tackles last season. The senior worked as a hybrid linebacker and an edge rusher in Jeremy Pruitt's new defensive scheme so far this season, racking up 13 tackles and two quarterback hurries in two games.
Goldman, a sophomore and a former five-star recruit, is in his first year as a starter. He's recorded two tackles this season.
Fisher said sophomore Terrance Smith will start in pace of Jones, and Demonte McAllister andNile Lawrence-Stample will handle Goldman's snaps.
While Bethune-Cookman, an FCS team, isn't likely to provide a significant test for the Florida State defense, the absence of Jones, Goldman and defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. (hand injury) could further hinder the unit's development under Pruitt.
