Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables was very frank following Tuesday’s practice.
“Nobody, like the whole defense, nobody is standing out to me right now,” he said behind the Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson.
In other words, the top-ranked Tigers are just where they are supposed to be defensively just four days into fall camp. Things will start ratcheting up a little more on Wednesday when they go to full pads for the first time.
And though his guys are doing what they are supposed to do, Venables has been particularly pleased with the three freshmen linebackers he has at his disposal right now.
