"That's an embarrassing situation right there. That's how somebody gets hurt."
Swinney said he had instructed players to wear their helmets in and out of the tunnel to avoid debris. He said he wanted the refs to throw a flag but that they refused.
"The refs have to do something about that," Swinney said. "I lost my poise, and they threw a flag on me because I came out of the box. I did. I came out of the box. He didn't throw a flag on me for what I said. He threw a flag for being out of the box. But it was about the fifth time. It's just dangerous. I'm sure that the event management folks here will address that. I know there's a lot of emotion, but those things just shouldn't be a part of the game."

The No. 3 Tigers beat the No. 24 Gamecocks 34-10.
