Unconventional. Unheralded. Unraveling.

Nearly three years after the unconventional promotion of Wes Goodwin to co-defensive coordinator, Clemson’s defense hit a new low, surrendering 210 rushing yards in a 33-21 loss to Louisville on Saturday night.

The defeat not only highlighted the Tigers’ glaring defensive issues but also marked one of their poorest performances at home in years, leaving the fanbase questioning the stability of a defensive unit that once prided itself on stopping the run.
