If you were impressed with the way Clemson’s defense played in last week’s victory over Wofford, then you are really going to like them later in the season.
Despite playing 12 new players on defense, 10 of which were first-year and redshirt freshmen, the Tigers held the Terriers’ triple-option rushing attack to 123 yards and just 2.7 yards per carry.
“We are just one game in and we played an opponent that really had a challenging scheme even though we are certainly more talented. But it was still good to see our guys play with the discipline and with the precision they executed with last week,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said during Wednesday’s ACC coaches teleconference.
