Clemson’s 31-0 demolition of Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl last weekend wasn’t all positive for the Tigers.

CU defender Christian Watkins was caught on camera reaching into a rather private area of Ohio State's Curtis Samuel was tackled on one play, an act that not surprisingly led some to wonder just what was going on.

Watkins admitted after the game he was "being silly" and offered an apology, but teammate Ben Boulware thinks it's all being blown out of proportion by calling it "sexual assault."

“The people who are freaking out about that have never played the game or were losers who didn’t’ have any friends when they played the game,” Boulware said. “It’s annoying.”

That’s…. one way to look at it I guess.

After Boulware’s comments made the rounds on social media, videos of him doing similar acts made their way to Twitter.

Samuel took issue with the justification on Twitter, and Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore also added his two cents.
