CLEMSON – Clemson’s defense is going to be much different from last year.
Why?
Not only does the roster look different, or the skills of the players have developed, but there’s also a different energy. The intensity appears up, the commitment seems real, and, especially for the defense, there’s a different approach to practice.
The biggest reason for this change is new defensive coordinator Tom Allen, who came to Clemson from Penn State in January, His impact on the Tigers’ defense is already being felt.
“Coach Allen is bringing the energy to this defense like no other,” linebacker Dee Crayton said.
