Venables irritated with his defense

To say Brent Venables was not happy at the end of Wednesday’s scrimmage is an understatement.

Clemson’s defensive coordinator was irritated with his unit when he came off the field at Death Valley.

“We did not play very well,” he said to the media. “We have a lot of work to do.”

Venables was especially irritated at his leadership on defense. Though he did not say any names specifically, it appeared a lot of his aggravation went towards the defensive line where he said some of the leaders where jumping offside, were checking out of plays early and just were not focused.
