CLEMSON, S.C. -- Dabo Swinney fired back at Dave Doeren on Tuesday after the NC State coach had insinuated Clemson may have been cheating by having a laptop on its sideline during Saturday's game, a 38-31 Tigers win.

"It's disappointing because that was kind of a challenge to our integrity," Swinney said.

Doeren suggested in his postgame press conference that Clemson should be investigated for the laptop on its sideline, which he believed violated the NCAA's rule against technology being used on the field.

Clemson identified the laptop as belonging to a student worker assigned to handle social media for the school, and the ACC ruled that there was no wrongdoing since coaches were not utilizing the laptop.
