CLEMSON – Don’t expect Brent Venables to get all mushy about the play of his sons. Don’t expect tears of joy and a ton of emotion. A hug in the parking lot will do.
Clemson safety Tyler Venables played a big role in the Tigers’ win over Syracuse last Friday, snaring an interception on an early scoring threat by the Orange. Venables stepped in front of Garrett Shrader’s pass at the six and returned it to the 13-yard line.
It was the first interception of Tyler’s career, but more importantly to his father, it stopped a potential score.
