CLEMSON – Almost everyone in attendance at Saturday night’s 56-35 Clemson victory over South Carolina had the same reaction when Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell was flagged for “Disconcerting Signals.”
The reaction? What in the heck is that? It was something that Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney called “silly.”
To set the stage – During the third quarter of the Tigers’ fifth consecutive win in the rivalry, the Gamecocks had driven down the field and soon had 1st-and-goal at the Clemson four-yard line. Two runs didn’t gain any yardage, and on third down, a pitch sweep was sniffed out, and the runner was tackled for a two-yard loss.
