"He probably was not going to play this week anyway," Spurrier said. "He hasn't practiced much. He's had a little bit of a bad finger. So he wasn't really in our plans this week, to be honest with you. We're going to give some other guys a chance to play quarterback."
"We're sort of stinking on offense," Spurrier said. "It's not all Blake's fault. It's not all his fault at all. I think he's played so-so. Not great, not terrible. We just had to find out. We've got a lot of other changes too. It's not just the quarterback. There could be seven new starters on offense this week."
"Blake got into a little scuffle last night," Spurrier said. "I heard the other guy pressed charges so we suspended him until it's all cleared up. He's under suspension right now until all the facts come in. We'll make a decision later this season what to do."
"He'll be out at least this week, then we'll see what happens next week," Spurrier said. "We'll let all the facts come in before we do anything on a long-range basis. He'll rest up and try to get his legal matters corrected and then we'll see where we are."
"I was disappointed he got into a little fight," Spurrier said. "If he was out with his girlfriend and he wasn't drunk or anything, that's what college kids do. I went to college once. But we were in before 1:30 a.m. Back in our day, 12 (midnight) was a late night. I don't think he had many classes this morning so he was just out with some buddies."
Unless he's in jail, Spurrier said, Mitchell will be allowed to wear his jersey and stand on the sidelines with the team Saturday night. However, he will not practice for the next few days, at least.
"He's still part of the team," Spurrier said.
