CLEMSON – The Clemson defense is seventh nationally in total defense, giving up just 261.8 yards per game. Defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin wants to get even better by the end of the season.

The Tigers sit at 12th nationally in rushing defense and 18th nationally in pass defense, a marked improvement over last season when the Tigers finished 76th in pass defense.

Goodwin spoke with the media earlier this week and said he’s been pleased with the progression of his group.

“I think every week we've gotten better and better, and that's the goal,” Goodwin said.
