Muse enjoying leadership role in final season
Although it’s the Clemson offense that typically gets all of the glory, the Clemson defense should certainly not be overlooked.
In the Tigers’ 38-3 victory over South Carolina this past Saturday the Clemson defense gave up the fewest points to the Gamecocks since a shutout in 1989. In that same game 30 years ago the Tiger defense held South Carolina to 155 yards. On Saturday they held them to 174 yards.
Clemson safety Tanner Muse gives the credit to the mastermind behind the lock down defense, defensive coordinator Brent Venables.
