Clawson appeared irate during an interview after the first half ended, and he explained at the end of the game that a Virginia Tech student trainer had squirted Wake Forest players and coaches with a water bottle on the way into the locker room.

“They had like a student trainer and when our kids and our coaches were coming off the field, she took the water bottle and was squirting it all over us,” Clawson said. “It was a student and it’s not representative of Virginia Tech or their coaching staff or anything. It was just a young kid being immature.

“I don’t think anyone likes getting cold water on them on the way out and again, it’s one person who’s a college student trying to be funny. And it was just an immature thing that — that’s not a reflection of Virginia Tech, that’s just silly kids’ stuff that I’m sure she’ll learn a lesson from it.”
