WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Dabo Swinney knows that Saturday’s game was ugly at one position. So ugly, he almost checked into the game to play.
Clemson’s secondary was without safety Andrew Mukuba, senior corner Sheridan Jones, corner Malcolm Greene, and sophomore corner Nate Wiggins was limited all week with a hamstring injury. The corners and the Tigers were called for five pass interference penalties for 75 yards, all part of giving up 337 yards through the air to go with six touchdowns.
"Defensively, it was ugly at one position, obviously,” Swinney said after the game.
