Clemson’s coach discussed the targeting call on Jeremiah Trotter in Monday’s press conference

Swinney said he has not received an explanation from the ACC on the play

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was asked about the ACC’s response to the targeting call on Jeremiah Trotter in Monday’s press conference. Swinney said he has not received an explanation from the ACC on the play, but he did say that he believes the call was incorrect. “I have not received an explanation from the ACC on the play,” Swinney said. “I did talk to the referee after the game, and he said that he thought Trotter led with his helmet. I disagree with that assessment. I think Trotter was leading with his shoulder, and I think the call was incorrect.” Swinney also said that he is concerned about the precedent that the call sets. He said that he is worried that the call will lead to more targeting calls being made in the future, and he believes that this could have a negative impact on the game of football. “I am concerned about the precedent that this call sets,” Swinney said. “I think it is going to lead to more targeting calls being made in the future, and I think this could have a negative impact on the game of football. I think it is important to remember that targeting is a very serious penalty, and I think it should only be called when it is clear that a player has led with his helmet and made contact with an opponent’s head.” The ACC has not yet commented on the play, but it is expected to release a statement in the coming days.
