Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables learned a lot about his defense on Saturday. He learned they still have some work to do.
The sixth-ranked Tigers allowed 225 yards in the fourth quarter of last Saturday’s win over Notre Dame, including 202 passing yards to quarterback DeShone Kiser. In the end, they still found a way to win the game when Carlos Watkins tackled Kiser on a two-point attempt to tie the game with seven seconds to play.
“They are a good football team that showed us a few things we need to get better at,” Venables said on Tuesday.
