Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was a little more pleased with the overall performance of his defense in Tuesday’s situational scrimmage at Death Valley.
He reported the Tigers’ run defense was better, the secondary played better overall and they got pressure to the quarterbacks and had more sacks and tackles for loss than they did in last Saturday’s scrimmage.
The defense forced two turnovers, one which was returned for a touchdown by safety K’Von Wallace.
However, they are still not where they need to be in order to be a championship team and right now, with 16 days to go before the season-opener against Georgia Tech, no one has earned a starting spot.
