The defense is encouraging

So far, the performances from the defense have been very solid.

Though they haven’t been able to win a ton in short-yardage situations, they’ve actually performed at a pretty high level.

During the last scrimmage, Dabo Swinney praised his defense and said that the unit made a ton of plays. He also challenged his offense to perform better and stay mentally focused on the task at hand.
