Following a disappointing performance in Saturday’s scrimmage at Death Valley, Clemson’s defense bounced back in practice on Monday at Jervey Meadows, according to head coach Dabo Swinney.
“Oh yeah,” he said. “Those guys take a lot of pride in what they do. The other day was just kind of a day where the offense made a lot of plays.”
In Saturday’s scrimmage, quarterbacks Kelly Bryant, Trevor Lawrence and Chase Brice carved up a defense that finished second nationally in scoring defense and fourth in total defense in 2017. Bryant and Brice had two touchdown passes apiece, while Lawrence threw one as well, and none were intercepted.
