CLEMSON - Call it a lack of leadership or a lack of attention to detail or a lack of intelligence or knowledge or a lack of energy and intensity. Call it whatever you want, but Brent Venables isn’t happy with where his defense is with five spring practices remaining.
Clemson’s offense apparently got the better of the defense during Wednesday’s stadium scrimmage and while it’s not all that uncommon for the Tigers’ defensive coordinator to challenge his players through the media, he appeared genuinely unhappy with his players’ performance.
Not only was the disdain apparent in his meeting with the media afterward, he also made the defense run for a solid 20 minutes following the conclusion of the practice.
