PITTSBURGH – Dabo Swinney says he needs to attend seminars on officiating in the offseason.
Clemson and Pitt combined for 19 penalties for 157 yards Saturday. Clemson was called for six penalties for 57 yards, while Pitt tallied 13 for an even 100. For Clemson, one penalty was especially damaging. With starting linebacker Wade Woodaz out with injury, freshman Sammy Brown stepped in and was playing well when he was called for a second-quarter targeting call on the quarterback.
That sent backups Dee Crayton and Jamal Anderson into action, and Crayton finished with seven tackles.
