CLEMSON — One of the biggest benefactors of Tom Allen’s hiring as Clemson’s defensive coordinator might be T.J. Parker.
Allen’s aggressive scheme matches up well with Parker’s approach to the game, which should help take the junior defensive end’s game to a whole other level.
On top of what Allen brings from an X’s and O’s standpoint, the veteran coach has also instilled a different mindset with the Clemson defense, reminiscent of what was seen just a few short years ago when the unit was routinely one of the nation’s best.
“He’s brought a lot of juice,” Parker said.
