His job. When offense substitutes, by rule, play is held up to allow the defense to sub.

I have no sympathy for Winston, but in that situation what was he supposed to do? Get out of the way, ref.

I’m not a fan of Winston, but the incident didn’t appear to be malicious, and I thought it was funny. He was focused on getting the play. I’m sure by now that he has been told he screwed up.

Keeping play from starting after the FSU substitution. IOW, exactly what he was supposed to do.

The article was pretty clear about it. The offence made a substitution so the official held up the play for sufficient time to allow the defence to also substitute players. I don't know if that was actually true because I didn't see the substitution, but you aren't allowed to both switch players and run a quick snap.
