Tigers do not like being labeled soft

Though Dabo Swinney wants to see his offense play a little cleaner and limit the mistakes, such as turnovers and penalties, one thing he was pleased with coming out of Friday’s scrimmage at Memorial Stadium was the play of his running backs.

The Clemson head coach said he loved the play of his running game, as the Tigers ran the ball well in the two-hour scrimmage.

“They all made plays. They all ran tough. They all ran physical,” he said.

Running the football with authority has been a point of emphasis this spring, especially coming off a season in which the running game had one of its least productive seasons at Clemson in recent memory.
