Venables: Tigers have to win the battle up front

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. — Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables says the Tigers will have to win the battle up front against Ohio State’s big offensive line when No. 2 Clemson takes on the third-ranked Buckeyes on Saturday in the 46th Fiesta Bowl.

“The defensive line is a group for us that has kind of carried us throughout the year,” Venables said. “There is some youth up there that has played well beyond their years. They are a mature group of guys.”
