VIDEO: Dabo Swinney freaks out on punter after 4th-down disaster
Try not to get on Dabo Swinney's bad side.
That's the obvious takeaway from the ACC championship game after Swinney let Clemson punter Andy Teasdall have it following a bizarre fourth-down play.
Facing a fourth-and-15 from deep inside their own territory, the Tigers appeared to go for the fake punt, but were stopped well short of the first down and turned the ball over to North Carolina with great field position.
Whether the punter just decided to go for the fake on his own, or it was the poor execution of the play that set Swinney off, one thing's for sure, he was not pleased with the result.

Asked about what happened on the play at halftime, Swinney didn't have much to say, though he seemed to indicate Teasdall decided to take matters into his own hands.
"My punter, I don't have an explanation. He just tried to do something on his own." - Dabo

A few plays later the Tar Heels reached the end zone, taking a 16-14 lead and giving Dabo even more reason to yell.
