Barnes says Tigers' secondary up to the challenge of Miami's passing attack

CLEMSON – Clemson freshman safety Khalil Barnes says the Clemson secondary is up for the challenge of playing Miami’s offense.

The Hurricanes have lost two in a row but feature the ACC’s top-ranked offense at just over 501 yards per game. Miami also features quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, who leads the second-ranked pass offense in the conference at 310 yards per game.

Van Dyke’s status is unclear at this point – he suffered a leg injury late in last week’s loss to North Carolina. While head coach Mario Cristobal said Monday that Van Dyke was ready to roll, observers said Van Dyke looked uncomfortable walking around campus.
