Re: This is nonsense. That hit was clean. We don’t need to be

You’re a scandalous, lying, dishonest, disgusting POS for even suggesting what you’re saying in that post!
I love in Charlotte, am a Cuse alum, and have always liked Clemson, especially under Dabo. I think he’s a class act and if any Cuse a-hole popped off w/ the kind of bs conspiracy theory, I’d rightfully defend him...and it’s good to see some rational fans here have done the same for Dino.
Again, what the OP has posted is flat out, fake news slander. Dino has expressed nothing but admiration for Clemson and how Dabo and your program has done things the right way. SU is trying to get back past glory and do as you have done, be national contenders every season. If Dabo didn’t respect the Cuse, he wouldn’t gush about Dino, Dungey, etc. At the very least he’d say nothing.
It’s people like the OP who sully the many good and classy fans, who rep Clemson football.
Kindly take your nonsensical garbage about Cuse football, and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Then again there’s probably no room left in there with your head occupying most of the space. Idiot.

I don’t know how you define “clean”, but it appeared to be

legal. I didn’t think the hit was necessary, and my first thought was the hit had to have been illegal, but unfortunately, by the rule, it looked like the correct no call.

“No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)

Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:

Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14):

A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
A player on the ground.
A player obviously out of the play.
A player who receives a blind-side block.
A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
A quarterback any time after a change of possession.
A ball carrier who has obviously given himself up and is sliding feet-first“
