Clemson’s home opener on Saturday proved a special day for multiple reasons.
For starters the sixth-ranked Tigers returned to the win column as they pounced on South Carolina State early and ran away with a 49-3 victory.
And Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables had plenty to celebrate after his unit kept their opponent out of the end zone for a second straight week. But after the game his most impassioned answer was about the Tiger faithful in the stands.
“The stadium was awesome. The fans, just driving onto the campus gives me chills just thinking about it,” Venables said.
