Clemson Defense Fired Up

Observers declared Clemson’s starting defense the clear winner in Saturday’s scrimmage. The first-team defense stuffed the running game, did not allow a passing touchdown and made the starting offensive line look bad.“I’m finding out our defense could be pretty good,” Bowden said. “They run real good and you can’t bounce anything outside.”

“There is a fire in our defense right now,” sophomore middle linebacker Cortney Vincent said. “Everybody is running wide open. I’ve never seen anything like this from us. We’re playing a different style now. We’re not going to turn it on and turn it off anymore.”
