Before any kind of success comes adversity. One has to fail before he or she can succeed in life.
Clemson’s secondary, a unit filled with experienced and talented players flying all over the field, has been one of the best in the country all season. Though Clemson lost four All-Americans from last year’s defensive front, no one has been able to throw the football on the Tigers with any consistent success this year.
Only Texas A&M has thrown for more than 200 yards in a game. In their last outing, the secondary held Wake Forest, who leads the ACC in passing yards and passing yards per game, to 41 yards on 6 of 14 passes while intercepting quarterback Jamie Newman twice.
