Morris’ High Energy Offense Already Matching Allen’s Defense
CLEMSON — Tom Allen will admit, there are not too many people as energetic as he is on the sidelines.
Clemson’s defensive coordinator is notorious for his sideline antics, as he is one of the first guys to run down the sideline to congratulate his players on a big play or turnover. For instance, in North Carolina last year, he nearly tackled linebacker Sammy Brown after a fourth-down stop.
Sometimes, in practice, he will tackle a player after they make a good play and will even jump on a dog pile if need be. It’s safe to say, Allen gets a little too excited.
Rarely, if not at all, has anyone on the same staff matched Allen’s intensity. Until now.
