Conn confident in the Tigers' defense heading into spring game

CLEMSON – Co-defensive coordinator Mickey Conn was all smiles following the Tigers’ stadium scrimmage last week, saying he feels like this defensive line is good enough to help Clemson compete for a championship.

Conn met with the media following another strong defensive showing, and described his duties other than coaching the safeties. Conn was named co-defensive coordinator along with Wes Goodwin when Brent Venables left for Oklahoma in December.

"Obviously, Wes is making the calls. Just having an overall say in what we’re doing schematically whether it be the (defensive) front, linebackers or the back end coverage-wise,” Conn said.
