Death Valley scrimmage insider: Swinney wants to see the defense tackle better

Sunny skies, a warm day, and a hard-hitting scrimmage in Death Valley make for an almost perfect afternoon, but head coach Dabo Swinney says the defense has to tackle better.

Clemson scrimmaged for two hours Friday afternoon in the last big scrimmage ahead of next Saturday’s annual Orange and White Game, and Swinney said both offenses had good days while the defense had its moments.

Here are some quick notes from our interview with Swinney:

*Today was second scrimmage, last time going good-on-good. They will split the team Monday and do more scrimmage work.
