The expression is in football is “speed kills.” When it comes to Clemson’s defense, few teams are faster than the top-ranked Tigers.
The goal for Brent Venables’ defense is to get as many players around the football as humanly possible. It is something Clemson has done a lot this year. So much so, it is becoming frustrating for opposing offenses.
Granted, the Tigers have given up a few plays here or there, that will happen from time-to-time, but Clemson’s aggressive style of play, to go along with its extreme talent, once again has it ranked high in regards to team defense.
