CLEMSON – The 1972 Miami Dolphins put together the NFL’s only undefeated season that year with an offense full of big names and the league’s best defense. The defense didn’t garner as much attention as the offense, and soon had a nickname – The No-Name Defense.
Clemson’s defense is beginning to feel much the same way.
Brent Venables’ unit is ranked fourth nationally in total defense and sixth in scoring defense, but the offense gets most of the attention (and blame).
Senior safety Tanner Muse says it’s time for the nation – media and fans alike – to realize what the Tigers have on the defensive side of the ball.
