Venables hopeful his defense gets a game ball after dominating performance

CLEMSON – Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables was asked about his group’s dominant performance against Wake Forest Saturday in Death Valley, and he made sure to mention that the Demon Deacons were missing two of their best players.

Then he broke into a smile and admitted that holding Wake Forest to just 105 total yards was worthy of admiration and he said he hoped the defense would get a game ball.

"It was a great performance. First of all, just thankful for our players,” Venables said. “Their dedication, their commitment. 150 years of college football, and what they've accomplished through 11 games, you know, that's pretty special.
