Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables is feeling better about the weakside position at linebacker.
The Tigers, who return to practice Monday after taking the last three days off, are playing several men there. Baylon Spector is battling it out with Kane Patterson for the starting spot, while James Skalski, Jake Venables and Keith Maguire are cross training there as well.
“We are good there. We feel good about that position in our group,” Brent Venables said.
Venables did indicate they can also slide Mike Jones over to weakside when they go to their nickel package out of their four-man front, sort of the way they used Dorian O’Daniel and Isaiah Simmons in the past.
