No. 3 Clemson dominated No. 16 North Carolina State on the gridiron on Saturday afternoon.

However, they are also possible troll masters showing a signal card of a smiling laptop on the sidelines during the blowout 41-7 win.

Flashback to last year's Clemson 38-31 win when North Carolina State head coach Dave Doeren was not a fan of a rogue laptop on the sidelines.

"I would like to know why there was a laptop on Clemson's sidelines that people were looking at. I like that to be investigated," Doeren said during postgame. "Maybe they weren't doing anything. I was told it was illegal to have technology on the sidelines."

NC State coach Dave Doeren didn’t question the use of a laptop on #Clemson’s sideline this time. Dabo Swinney described the use of a laptop in a playcall sign as “the ultimate troll.”

Swinney on laptop signal: That was the ultimate troll. Is that what you call it? The ultimate troll. The coaches wanted to have some fun with it and I said we could use it if we earn it with our play.
