Biscuits and violins don’t go together. Unless you’re roaming the Clemson sidelines calling out defensive signals.
New defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin has already made a big impression during his month on the job, spawning parody Twitter accounts and bringing phrases like, “No risk it, no biscuit” back to the forefront. Now we can add violins to the mix.
Goodwin’s first game at the helm of the vaunted Clemson defense was a thing of beauty, a 20-13 victory over Iowa St. in the Cheez-It Bowl last week in Orlando. Iowa State came in with the Big 12’s leading passer in veteran quarterback Brock Purdy, yet the Tigers held Iowa State to 270 total yards and made Purdy look average.
