Everyone knows how familiar Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher is with Clemson’s defense. Fisher and Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables have been butting heads now for a long time.
Saturday’s 3:30 p.m., kickoff at Memorial Stadium, between the top-ranked Tigers and No. 12 Texas A&M, will mark the 10th consecutive year the two coaches have faced off and the 11th overall. But the Aggies also have some familiarity with Clemson’s offense.
Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko knows the Tigers all too well. His defenses have faced Clemson four times in the last five seasons.
