GLENDALE, AZ – Following Clemson’s thrilling victory over Ohio St. in the Fiesta Bowl, the media lined up inside the Tiger locker room waiting to talk to defensive coordinator Brent Venables. The media would have to wait.
Venables took his time with his players, laughing, celebrating, and dancing. Yes, dancing. Venables was in the middle of it all, the biggest smile you’ve ever seen, having the time of his life.
Clemson gave up 16 early points to Ohio St. and two long runs to Buckeye running back J.K. Dobbins, but settled in to hold the Buckeyes to just seven points the rest of the way.
