Clemson QB shoved by NC State coach on sideline

NC State running backs coach Des Kitchings appeared to shove Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson in the back on a play that went out of bounds during the Tigers' 56-41 win on Saturday.

Replays showed Watson running out of bounds and into Kitchings late in the third quarter and Klitchings responding by shoving Watson. After the game, NC State coach Dave Doeren said Kitchings apologized to Watson and the Clemson coaches.

"As far as I know, everything has been settled," Doeren said. "I haven't seen it, don't know much about it, but [Kitchings] did come up and tell me that he apologized to their staff and Deshaun.
