Muse says defense was not aggressive

Tanner Muse has a good explanation as to why Clemson’s offense got the best of its defense in Saturday’s first stadium scrimmage of fall camp.

“I feel like we weren’t as aggressive as they were today and hats off to them,” the safety said.

Clemson’s offense scored a lot as Kelly Bryant, Chase Brice and Trevor Lawrence each threw touchdown passes. In all, the Tigers had 13 explosive plays—play of 20 yards or more—in the 106-play scrimmage. Of those 13 plays, nine came by way of the passing game.

Wide receivers Tee Higgins, Amari Rodgers, Diondre Overton and freshman Justyn Ross all made big plays in the passing game.
