During Saturday’s game between Clemson and Syracuse, Tigers linebacker Ben Boulware broke out a move you would typically see in a wrestling ring.
Late in the first quarter, Syracuse quarterback Austin Wilson completed a pass to Dontae Strickland for a six yard gain. At the end of the play, the sophomore running back was picked up and suplexed by Boulware.

Boulware was assessed a personal foul penalty for his tackle wrestling move. After the game, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney commented on the the play.

This isn’t the first time this season Boulware has used an unconventional method on the football field. Last month, he essentially had Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson in a choke hold. You can see it here. Boulware would later issue an apology.
