Clemson coaches have complained about junior wide receiver Martavis Bryant's lack of maturity and focus before, and coach Dabo Swinney did so again Tuesday.
Things we learned in Week 4
From Stanford learning a lesson against ASU to Baylor's offensive onslaught, here are 42 things we learned in Week 4 in college football. **More ...**
Swinney said during his weekly news conference that Bryant's playing time against Wake Forest on Saturday will be affected by a throat-slash gesture he made after his first touchdown catch against North Carolina State last Thursday. If referees had seen the gesture, an unsportsmanlike penalty could've been called.
"I wish the refs would have seen it and called a flag," Swinney said. "Everyone missed it, but TV didn't miss it. It's not representative of what we are doing here. I bet he doesn't do it again."
Bryant had perhaps the best game of his career against the Wolfpack, with six catches for 73 yards and two TDs. It was Clemson's first game without starting wide receiver Charone Peake, who will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, and Bryant stepped up to provide extra production.
Swinney said true freshman Mike Williams will receive more playing time Saturday at Bryant's expense.
