Derion Kendrick’s 38-yard interception return for a touchdown in No. 2 Clemson’s 45-14 win over Florida State on Saturday has been a long time in the making. A really long time.
In fact, the Tigers have been working on it since the start of preseason camp.
On the play, defensive coordinator Brent Venables called a Cover 2 zone blitz.
Clemson brought linebackers Isaiah Simmons and James Skalski on a blitz from the right side of the formation. Neither was picked up and Seminoles’ quarterback James Blackman was forced to throw the ball earlier than he wanted to.
