When it was announced that freshman Mario Goodrich was held out of last Saturday’s scrimmage with a groin injury, concern for Clemson’s lack of depth at the cornerback and safety positions picked back up.
Defensive coordinator Brent Venables said they are an injury or two away from being in trouble when it comes to depth, something he has expressed concern about since the spring and it has now carried over into fall camp. The Tigers know they are going to need Goodrich, as well as fellow freshman Kyler McMichael, ready to play when the season opens against Furman at Death Valley on Sept.
