Was this a throat slash or Superman gesture by Beasley?

Looks like Superman gesture to me.
Maybe the refs need to provide an instruction manual or video on what is or is not acceptable. They can start with Dwayne Allen's salute --- and list it as ACCEPTABLE.

it was a slash but he was mimicking the cheap tigernet steak knives so it was harmless.

Do you get one for every 5000 posts?

Thumbs extended towards throat = throat slash.

A superman gesture has the thumbs pointing straight up.
I can't believe I'm having this conversation.

Is enough to know it was a bad idea on his part.

Just go to the sideline and you can do whatever you want.

I was only asking because a penalty was called.

I thought it looked like a Superman gesture. That's what I saw on live TV AND that's what I see in this video.
That said, I think Clemson players should avoid all such gestures. I'm okay with being happy about making a good play, but just get off the field. AND after scoring TDs, we should simply had the football to the ref - that's what CJ did.

Chest slash! Those refs sucked hard. Throat slashing shouldn't be a penalty either

Can you pull out your six shooters like Cactus Jack? What would Arn Anderson think of this non-sense.

Fingers closing to grab the shirt is a Superman move. Pretty obvious a bad call.

or a hybrid of both. Superman slash? Shouldn't be a penalty and definitely not taunting, which is what they called it, as he was heading towards Clemson sideline and nowhere near an OSU player.

Not like he was standing in front of the OSU bench. He wasn't even jumping around. These refs lost all degree of proportion. BS sideline calls at crucial times, roughing the passer by Shuey for rolling on him or whatever, and this possibly technically correct, but heavy handed penalty when no real taunting was taking place. That early in the game they should have talked to him and warned him.

TO be fair to the refs, the rules committee hands them some

big warm turds sometimes.
It's a stupid rule, it cannot be enforced consistently b/c it's too subjective.

Exactly ... games outcome should not hinge on

things like "gestures" ... especially when the intent is highly subjective.
Heck, if they must penalize gestures, have a 5 yard and a 15 yard version dependent on intent or what the officials judge as the intent.
They've done that for face mask and "halo rule", why not for celebratory gestures??

Superman. Stupid call. Remove all excitement... everyone should behave like a zombie. That would be SO exciting to watch.
Anyway, if he had been standing over a player and done that, I would have a major problem with it. That wasn't the case. GO TIGERS!!!
