Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables had some positive takeaways after the Tigers’ first scrimmage of fall camp last Saturday and saw some young defensive players make plays with several veterans sidelined with various nicks and bruises.
But Venables also came away from the scrimmage looking for more consistency, discipline and attention to detail from his defense and told reporters afterward that the unit wasn’t close to where he wants it to be when the 2020 season kicks off Sept. 12 at Wake Forest.
“Inconsistent, got a lot of work to do,” Venables said following the scrimmage.
