Accentuate the positive: Clemson defense making history

CLEMSON – Brent Venables popped into the interview room following Clemson’s 59-14 victory over Wofford and didn’t want to talk about the two scoring drives allowed. It was all positive.

“Let’s just talk about the good things,” Venables said. “I am happy. There was a lot of good out there tonight.”

The Clemson defense limited Wofford to just 256 total yards and joined the 2006 LSU Tigers and 2011 Alabama Crimson Tide as the only teams since 2000 to hold opponents below 300 yards in nine straight games to open a season.

Venables was asked what he looks for when his team plays an overmatched opponent, and he said it all comes down to body language.
