Venables has his defense preparing for dangerous Georgia Tech offense

Georgia Tech enters Saturday’s contest with top-ranked Clemson with a lot of confidence and an offense that is starting to find its stride behind freshman quarterback Jeff Sims. Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables says the Yellow Jackets are on a different planet than they were a year ago.

Georgia Tech (2-2) is ranked 20th nationally in total offense, led by Sims, who is 65-119 (54.6%) for 944 yards, five touchdowns and eight interceptions. Sims was named ACC Rookie of the Week for the second time this season after throwing for 249 yards, rushing for 64 and accounting for three touchdowns in last Friday’s win over Louisville.
