Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney called sophomore cornerback Nate Wiggins, talent-wise as good as Clemson has signed. On Saturday, Wiggins, Fred Davis, Toriano Pride, Jeadyn Lukus appeared terribly outmatched against the Wake Forest receivers. What did Wiggins have to say about the matchup?

Freshman cornerback Toriano Pride Jr. has played in each game this season but more than doubled his snaps on Saturday (26 to 48) from the previous two games. Pride could see more time at Wake Forest this weekend if two injured cornerbacks are ruled out.

Clemson versatile defensive back Malcolm Greene knows he and and his teammates can't take Louisiana Tech, Saturday night's opponent, lightly and they must be ready to defend an offense with a pass-oriented reputation.

Mickey Conn, who has served as the safeties coach for Clemson since 2017, added the title of co-defensive coordinator after former defensive coordinator Brent Venables became Oklahoma's head coach. He spoke on Wednesday about the position and what he's seen from players this spring.
