TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Suspended Florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton was taken to a hospital by police who say they observed him behaving strangely, lying in the street and telling them he was God.

Sexton was hospitalized Monday night and on Tuesday a Florida State official said he was still under medical care at an undisclosed location. He has not been charged with any crime.

Florida State Assistant Athletic Director Rob Wilson said Sexton had been suspended from the team two weeks ago because of a previously undisclosed violation of team rules. He declined to elaborate on what rules Sexton broke and said the incident Monday appeared to be unrelated.

Sexton, 20, is the son of Florida State's assistant head coach and running backs coach Billy Sexton. Wilson said neither head coach Bobby Bowden nor Sexton's father would comment.

2. Lock of all eternity

Teflon Bobby Bowden will escape with reputation completely unaltered. One criminal or bizarre incident after another involving FSU football players over the past decade but nothing has touched Saint Bobby.

4. Just got back from Bonnaroo huh?

Me too, it was an open air drug market up there. I'm guessing mushrooms, although I witnessed the sale of LSD and Mescaline too
