Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables was frustrated, for sure, with his unit’s mistakes in Saturday’s ACC championship game.
But he also savored the 45-37 win and everything that goes along with it. That includes the chance to rest before the team’s national semifinal game in the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma on Dec. 31.
“I don’t know if it’s off, but it’s going to help for sure,” Venables said. “I hope so, I think it will. We all need a little bit of time. That treadmill has been 15 and 15 for a long time. It’s exciting, though, what we have sitting in front of us and the opportunity.
