RALEIGH, NC – Brent Venables was happier than one might expect following Clemson’s 56-41 victory over NC State Saturday afternoon, saying that his defense was good but not great in the win over the Wolfpack.
The numbers weren’t pretty for a Clemson defense that shut out Miami a week ago. The Wolfpack marched down the field on the game’s first possession to take the early lead, and it was all uphill for Clemson's defenders the rest of the night.
They were good enough to win – but not great, and he said he is sure he will have his group’s attention this week.
