Secondary made Venables ‘wanna puke looking at it’

Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables likes his defensive line, and after the way his secondary played in Wednesday’s first full scrimmage of the spring, it’s easy to see why.

“We have a lot of work to do in the secondary,” he said following the Tigers’ scrimmage at the Poe Indoor Practice Facility in Clemson. “That was kind of sloppy today. Those are things that probably standout the most.”

Venables said the Tigers are hurting at corner as bad as they did in 2012. That year Clemson ranked sixth in the ACC, allowing 240.3 yards per game, while opposing quarterbacks completed 58.
