Venables Post-Game

By Makenna Biehl

The Clemson Tigers faced the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday, their second time facing them this year. The Tigers won the rematch 34-10, taking home the ACC Championship title for the sixth straight year. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables met with media via Zoom following the game.

Venables started off by highlighting the leadership that Skalski brings to the defense.

Venables: “Skalski leads the charge of practice and meeting time. He has a real presence to him.”

Venables then went into detail on the team’s performance against the Fighting Irish.

Venables: “I thought our guys dominated up front. We did a great job at creating pressure.”

Starting safety Nolan Turner was ejected in the second half of the game due to targeting. However, Venables is confident in how the team can fill that position.

Venables: “Nolan is a great leader. Other guys will step up and he’ll be ready to play. I hate that for him but we’ve got some other good, young players ready for their opportunity.”

To finish off, Venables highlighted the year that the Clemson Football team has had.

Venables: “This was easily the most challenging year that any of us have been apart of. These guys made the decision to play.”

Venables: “We’ve had a bunch of young guys that have just gotten better.”

Venables: “The light couldn’t be any brighter at Clemson.”

Venables: “Through all this strain and diversity, we’ve been a bright spot.”
