Former South Carolina kicker calls out Dabo Swinney
Just about everything went right for Clemson against Florida State, as the Tigers rebounded from their near loss versus North Carolina two weeks ago.
Well, not everything was perfect — Clemson kicker B.T. Potter missed a 24-yard field goal, and Tigers coach Dabo Swinney let his kicker know about his mistake. Swinney absolutely chewed him out on the sidelines for the missed chip shot.
It was such a bad tongue-lashing, Swinney received criticism for it on Twitter. Former South Carolina kicker Elliott Fry even chimed in:
Really bold move to try and ruin your young kickers confidence in a cupcake game… https://t.co/Ylw7WSYgHp

The biggest takeaway from Fry’s tweet might be that he called Florida State a “cupcake” game for Clemson.
But it does sound like Fry, who kicked for South Carolina from 2013-16, making 75 percent of his field goals and all but one of his extra-point tries, can relate to Potter. Or maybe there’s just an unwritten kicker code that requires Fry to defend a rival’s kicker.
Swinney probably could have dealt with his kicker missing a short field goal a little differently, but clearly, he’s trying to get his entire team’s attention. It’s safe to say Clemson has its focus back after a near defeat against North Carolina. The Tigers knocked off the Seminoles, 45-14.
Clemson’s whole schedule is a giant cupcake.
yeah, especially USC and A&M
*looks at today’s game result vs USC*
well, I mean they are not all cupcakes
Fromm is a cupcake.
0-5 with 30+ pass attempts….maybe he should stay off the late night snapchats…
I take it you did not understand my post. And I am a grown man so I don’t know about Fromm’s snapchat.
We’re the two best teams they play by a long shot, whoever they consider third would easily be bottom 5 in the SEC
The current SEC East leader… Lost. To. Wyoming.
Looks like Clemson has provided another troll named TigerDiesel, based on his 5 posts in one day. It also looks like Dabo’s fake pious act is showing cracks. He might ask Hugh Freeze how that works out. Matthew 6:5 pal.
Unless you’re arguing that SCAR is bottom 5 of the SEC, a few weeks ago UNC beat @SCAR (who beat @UGA). And at the end of last season, UVA spanked SCAR 28-0. I’m pretty sure those 2 ACC teams wouldn’t be bottom 5 in an SEC that includes SCAR, UT, UK, Vandy, Arky, MSST, & Ole Miss. The SEC is clearly stronger than the ACC, but let’s not go overboard.
The ACC is a train wreck. May as well move UCF into it
Elliott is the man!
Gamecocks entire schedule is cupcakes, the second best ACC team wouldn’t be top 10 in the SEC
Clemson’s*
The Gamecock’s schedule is harder because Clemson is on it.
Clemson’s schedule is easier because the Gamecocks are on it.
Ask Georgia how that turned out. Ask Clemson’s NFL defense last year how that turned out when they got lit up by USC. Tater Tech better take notice or we will kick them out of playoff contention.
Wow. Really @TigerDiesel?
UVA losing to Miami? Wake actually being in the top 25 and losing to Louisville?
That is how you guys win a lot in the end – you can sit out players and not get hurt. Play some legit teams & you can talk
hey don’t forget the $10 you owe me
A coach… yelling at a player? How dare he?!
When did we as a society become so soft?
On the flip side, when did society become such a bunch of aholes? Narrow that down for me, TD.
Beat severely 1 overrated team and all the sudden some Gamecock fans act like they won the Playoff.
Clemson has a high school schedule. The ACC is the worst football conference in America. And by a wide margin.
And USCjr can’t beat any of them. That says a lot
This isn’t news, Dabo has a hardon for yelling at the kickers.
And USCjr can’t beat any of them. That says a lot
