Clemson held its first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday at Death Valley, and for the defense, it was a mixed bag of results.
The unit forced 10 punts out of 19 drives, according to defensive coordinator Brent Venables. The defense showed positive flashes but had its share of lapses, too, on what was an overall inconsistent day on that side of the ball.
“The first three drives, we came out and played pretty good, and then went through about four drives there not so good,” Venables said following the scrimmage. “We had a few guys down in that second group, so some threes had to step up, and saw some good things.
