In case you haven’t caught on by now, Brent Venables needs more linebackers.
Things should be just fine for the short-term, as long as Ben Boulware and B.J. Goodson don’t need an extended amount of time away from the field.
That’s not to be confused as a knock on the other Mike and Will linebackers on the Clemson roster. Aside from Martin Aiken, who just moved from defensive end, none of the backup Mike and Will linebackers have played a single snap of college ball.
Kendall Joseph is sort of the old man, thanks to his redshirt.
