Clemson's defense continues to shine

CLEMSON – Super senior or Superman?

Senior James Skalski is in his sixth year in the Clemson program, and he epitomizes everything that the Tigers’ defense stands for.

Skalski made two plays to stop Georgia Tech on the goal line and seal the 14-8 victory Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables said Skalski is everything you want in a linebacker and a player.

“What can you say? It's funny. He was on the sideline like, 'I haven't made a play all night.' I just told him to keep playing hard,” Venables said of Skalski.
