CLEMSON – Wes Goodwin was happy with the fact that Clemson won Saturday’s game against Furman, and he was pleased with the fact that his defense gave up just 12 points. Other than that? He knows there is a lot of work to do.
Furman gained 384 yards, Furman passed for 256 yards, averaged 8.5 yards per completion, 3.7 yards per carry, 5.2 yards per play, and went 10-of-18 on third down to post 19 first downs. The Paladins also controlled the ball and the clock with close to 35 minutes of time of possession.
Goodwin, the Tigers’ first-year defensive coordinator, faced the media after the game and said that the Tigers had to prepare for both Furman head coach Clay Hendrix’s offense and the offense of new offensive coordinator Justin Roper, who came to Furman from Holy Cross.
