Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney acknowledged after Saturday’s 41-7 win over NC State that his team did troll the Wolfpack with an image on a play card.

Those watching the game may have noticed that Clemson used an image of a laptop computer on one of their play cards from the sideline.

Swinney admitted after the game that the laptop card was an “ultimate troll move.”

Clemson has a laptop on one of their play cards on the sideline. “The ultimate troll move,” Dabo Swinney said with a laugh. “Isn’t that what you call it?”

How was it a troll job by Clemson? NC State head coach Dave Doeren complained about the referees following last year’s loss to the Tigers and even said he wanted Clemson to be investigated for having a laptop on the sideline. Clemson said the laptop belonged to a member of the program’s social media team.

We’re wondering what the Tigers enjoyed more: beating NC State, or getting in the laptop dig.
