Is Isaiah Simmons the best defender in the country? Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables weighs in

"Yeah, he's one of the better players. There's a lot of really good players out there and he's definitely one of them. What I loved, he's breaking it down there right at the end that he's talking about all the mistakes that we've got to, you know, fix. They're easy, correctable things, but instead of having his head in the sand and acting like we played like the '85 Bears today, he's like, "Hey man, that's a win and you've got to enjoy it, man, winning is so hard." 

"But you know, he's pointing out out, "Hey..." talking about the mindset going into next week, being the off week, what we've got to do to get better and improve mistakes and improve fundamentals and techniques and those types of things. So that's really like music to your ears as a coach."
