SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Though he will not admit he is overwhelmed, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables gets a little flustered when he turns on the tape for the first time to prepare for a bowl game.
“It’s just like, ‘how in the heck are we going to get in their way’ and trying to understand personality and DNA and philosophy? It’s a challenge,” Venables said.
There is no bigger challenge than playing this year’s Ohio State offense. The Buckeyes, who the Tigers will play in the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday (8 p.m., ET), have one of the best offenses in college football.
