CLEMSON – Clemson’s defense was in class Saturday night at Texas A&M, a late-night lab session that will pay dividends down the road.
Texas A&M put up 501 yards of total offense on Brent Venables’ defense, including 430 yards through the air. A whopping 201 of those yards came in the final quarter when the Aggies scored two touchdowns to pull within 28-26.
Members of the Clemson secondary have come under criticism for the effort, but Venables says the entire secondary wasn’t at fault.
"I don't think that's safe to say because I thought Trayvon (Mullen) and AJ (Terrell) played really well.
