Sands of the Hourglass: Venables takes message to heart

CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney held up an hourglass during a team meeting earlier this week, hoping to get the point across that both the players and coaches have to take advantage of each second they have.

Defensive coordinator Brent Venables got the message, and he hopes his defense takes the message to heart as they prepare to take on No. 12 Florida St. Saturday night in Tallahassee.

Venables, who met with the media Tuesday, tried to explain the demonstration and the point Swinney was trying to convey.

“Just take advantage of the time that you do have, maximize the time that you have and don't waste your time.
