Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables believes his defense is good enough to play with anyone in the country. However, he also believes they just can’t show up an expect to win.
“This is a humbling game,” he said. “We have seen that week in and week out. Just use last weekend as an example. A 5-5 Arizona State team should have run away with it, but Oregon has enough playmakers to make it interesting. That is just one of many examples of the game in which we both play and coach when you are dealing with young people.
