Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney didn’t hold back while discussing the pass interference call that was made in the final minute of the Tigers’ 46-45 loss to Duke on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Facing a fourth-and-10 from the Clemson 18-yard line with 49 seconds left, Duke quarterback Derian Mensah’s pass to Que’Sean Brown fell incomplete. All of a sudden, a flag came flying in from the back of the field. The call was defensive pass interference on Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell.
Instead of a Clemson victory, Duke scored one play later, then added a two-point conversion for the one-point win.
