Brent Venables is not looking forward to playing Virginia Tech’s Khalil Herbert.
“I wish Herbert was still at Kansas,” Clemson’s defensive coordinator said on Monday.
Herbert transferred to Virginia Tech from Kansas in the off-season and currently leads the ACC in total rushing yards (924) and is second in the conference in per game average (102.67) and is just a tenth of a yard out of first place. With the graduate transfer sharing the backfield with quarterback Hendon Hooker, the Hokies lead the ACC in rushing, averaging 250.9 yards per game.
“He is an excellent player,” Venables said.
