MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Clemson punter Andy Teasdall has had one moment in the spotlight.

Let’s just say he probably never wants that again.

Teasdall went from anonymous special-teamer to the talk of the ACC championship game earlier this month after going rogue and attempting a fake punt all on his own late in the second quarter against North Carolina.

The play failed. When Teasdall trotted back to the sideline, coach Dabo Swinney let him have it, screaming, "What are you doing? Punt that ball!" He grabbed Teasdall by the jersey and continued to gesture wildly, a moment that soon went viral as cameras followed along.
