CLEMSON FOOTBALL: Defense faces new BC hurry-up offense

Related Topics: Hurry-up offense

CLEMSON — The Clemson defense will face different challenge this week as it prepares to take on the Boston College Eagles.

After spending the two weeks prior focused on stopping two prolific offenses in Auburn and Louisville —allowing a total of 27 points in those two games — the challenge now shifts to stopping a Boston College offense that ranks 75th nationally in rushing yards per game, 101st in passing offense per game, 101st in total offense and 115th in scoring offense.

Even with the challenge seemingly taking a step back this week, for defensive coordinator Brent Venables it is getting his players to be better this week.
