A questionable punt review was the last straw for some Clemson fans in Saturday night’s 33-21 loss against Louisville.

Using poor judgment but taking out their frustrations, a few Clemson fans threw some debris, mostly water bottles, onto the field of play in the fourth quarter.

A Clemson reporter asked the head coach Dabo Swinney during Sunday’s media conference call about fans throwing things on the field after the controversial review.

“That’s not who we are at Clemson,” Swinney said. “I understand, but they have to let me handle the refs. It’s not something we should be doing at Clemson. Hopefully we’ll learn from it and it won’t happen again.”

Swinney was asked about the review call after Saturday night’s loss.

“They saw something different,” Swinney said of the referees. “We thought we had possession of the game, on the ball, on the ground. The game was over. I think they saw something different in Charlotte, wherever they look at the reviews.”

Louisville scored on the very next play.
