Dabo Swinney wanted to give his players another feel for what it was like to practice at Death Valley so for the second time this spring, Clemson practiced in the Valley.
The Tigers did some team work and some individual work to start practice and then some scrimmage work … open field, short yardage and a couple of two minute situations.
“We just needed to get back over here one more time,” Swinney said after practice on Wednesday.
Clemson opened practice with what Swinney calls its “Wind Drill.” It is an extended version of “Paw Drills,” which has the running back behind an offensive lineman going against a defensive tackle, tight end going against a linebacker and a wide receiver going up against a defensive back.
