Henry: ‘Can’t let one loss turn into two’

It’s no secret Clemson’s defense struggled mightily in the Tigers’ first loss of the 2022 season on Saturday, allowing 348 total yards of offense and five touchdowns amidst the 35-14 loss in South Bend. Defensive end K.J. Henry caught up with Don …

It’s no secret Clemson’s defense struggled mightily in the Tigers’ first loss of the 2022 season on Saturday, allowing 348 total yards of offense and five touchdowns amidst the 35-14 loss in South Bend.

Defensive end K.J. Henry caught up with Don Munson following the loss on the Fifth Quarter show on 105.5 The Roar and shared his thoughts following the loss.

“It wasn’t our night,” Henry said. “A lot of things that didn’t necessarily really go our way, but we didn’t really help ourselves like [head] coach [Dabo] Swinney said. We gotta find a way to bounce back. Just like we do wins, we gotta do losses the same way. We gotta watch the film on Sunday and Monday, wash it out and get ready for the next one.”

A lack of physicality on the defensive side for Clemson seemed to be a huge issue that allowed the Fighting Irish run game to thrive in addition to a plethora of small mistakes that eventually led to the costly outcome.

“That’s what’s unfortunate,” the veteran defender said regarding their lack of physicality. “Definitely within the game when we got stops, they weren’t even quality ones because when they’re able to drive down the field and flip the field, it takes time, and it takes field position from the offense, so defensively we definitely have to singlehandedly do better in that perspective. As a whole, we gotta find a way to turn it around. It’s definitely not the end of the world, we’re still a really good team, but obviously some things happened tonight that we’re not OK with and we gotta fix it.”

Though the loss does sting, Henry knows the season is far from over. With a three-game homestead on deck and the Tigers’ ACC Championship Game ticket punched, Clemson needs to move forward with a windshield mentality and shift its focus to its next opponent in Louisville next weekend.

“Can’t let one loss turn into two, can’t let one bad game turn into two, so that’s what the mindset’s going to be,” Henry said. “Like I said, just correction all we can next week and getting ready for the next opponent.”

Clemson’s defense wilts against Notre Dame’s physicality

There was no secret to what was coming. Wesley Goodwin said as much. In fact, Clemson’s defensive coordinator spent a good chunk of time earlier in the week talking to reporters about how his unit knew what it had to do against Notre Dame’s offense. …

There was no secret to what was coming. Wesley Goodwin said as much.

In fact, Clemson’s defensive coordinator spent a good chunk of time earlier in the week talking to reporters about how his unit knew what it had to do against Notre Dame’s offense. It was almost as if Goodwin and head coach Dabo Swinney, who made a reference to his team needing to bring its “big-boy pants” to South Bend, wanted to send a message to their players publicly about needing to match the physicality of the Fighting Irish’s running game.

“You have to stop their run game,” Goodwin said of Notre Dame’s top-40 rushing offense.

The Tigers left those pants back in Clemson.

Notre Dame walloped the fourth-ranked Tigers late Saturday night at Notre Dame Stadium, improving to 6-0 this season when rushing for at least 150 yards in the process. Using that metric, the Tigers didn’t come close to giving themselves a chance. Instead, Clemson’s star-studded front seven bullied by an offense that’s largely been one-dimensional this season.

“Super surprised,” Swinney said afterward. “Nobody’s fault but mine. Didn’t play anywhere near like we have played and can play. (Saturday), that’s what you saw. They were clearly the more physical team and executed better. It will be a painful tape to watch for everyone.”

The Irish did it against the nation’s No. 7 run defense, though Clemson had shown some cracks of late. There were those 206 yards Florida State rushed for in the Tigers’ six-point win on Oct. 15. And Syracuse did the Tigers a favor two weeks earlier by only getting five carries for its all-ACC back, Sean Tucker, who averaged more than 10 yards on those touches.

On Saturday, the Tigers broke.

It didn’t matter that Notre Dame had the 106th-ranked passing offense in the country with a backup quarterback because the Irish did just about anything they wanted on the ground. They gashed Clemson through the A and B gaps and bounced runs outside when Clemson lost contain on the edges. Even that backup, Drew Pyne, who isn’t much of a runner, benefited from all the attention Clemson had to give to Notre Dame’s stable of backs by keeping on some read plays, including a 5-yard touchdown scamper late in the second quarter.

Even when the Tigers had things fitted correctly and players in position to make tackles, there was no guarantee it was happening. Logan Diggs and Audric Estime, Notre Dame’s primary battering rams, often turned shorter runs into longer gains by plowing through the arms of Clemson defenders, continuing the Tigers’ recent trend of having issues getting ball carriers to the ground.

“It was just a combination of misfits, missed tackles and guys getting knocked out of their gaps,” Goodwin said. “It was a bit of everything here and there. Got to get back to work on Monday, fix the issues that showed up and get better with where we got exposed.

“Obviously we were not the most physical team, and that’s 100 percent on me and getting them prepared the right way to execute.”

Veteran defensive end K.J. Henry wasn’t willing to give himself and his teammates a pass. Clemson’s fifth-year senior said the players were also part of the problem on a night when play calls weren’t solely to blame for Notre Dame’s bludgeoning.

The Irish, who ripped off nearly 6 yards per carry, had 122 rushing yards in the first half – 35 more than what Clemson had been allowing per game – and finished with 263. Of their 24 first downs, 17 were on the ground with five of them coming on one of their touchdown drives.

“Coach Wes put us in the right spots and made a lot of the right calls,” Henry said. “I know technique has to be cleaned up on the defensive side of the ball. We can’t be complacent with just being in the right spot.”

As for why the Tigers were no match for Notre Dame’s physicality up front, Henry struggled to come up with an answer.

“I’d have to go back and see the film, but being a fifth-year guy, I can’t sit here and act like the game plan wasn’t set up for us to win the game,” he said.

Diggs (114) and Estime (104) each eclipsed the 100-yard mark on the ground, the first time a team has had multiple 100-yard rushers in the same game against Clemson since 2012. Clemson has now surrendered at least 200 rushing yards in two of its last three games.

“They just physically kicked our butt,” Swinney said. “Period. The end.”

Henry on loss to Notre Dame: ‘We earned what we got’

Clemson’s hope of an undefeated season was crushed by Notre Dame, which had a dominant victory over the Tigers on Saturday.

With an inability to get confidence or momentum on either side of the ball, many questions circulate about where the offense and the defense will be for the remainder of the season. Even with the Tigers returning to Death Valley for their final three games of the regular season, they face some fierce competition and will have to make a 180-degree turn from their performance inside Notre Dame Stadium.

Senior defensive end K.J. Henry spoke to the media after the game and was candid about the team’s woeful performance against the Fighting Irish. More specifically, the defensive line’s performance against Notre Dame’s rush attack. It was an uncharacteristic performance for the Tigers, who came into this game ranked seventh nationally in run defense.

Henry reflected on how frustrating it felt to prepare for two weeks with a set game plan and just go out there and not be able to execute on any level.

“One hundred percent,” he said. “The coaches are going to do the best job they can to take the blame, but it’s all on the players. (Head) coach (Dabo) Swinney made a statement this week that at this point in the season, everybody’s got their game plan and you just got to get out of the way and let the players play. Last two weeks of preparation was great, the coaches gave us a plan to win the game and we didn’t execute. That’s really what’s so frustrating coming off a bye week and that’s the performance you put up. With that being said, just like a loss we treat it the same as a win. Watching the film on Sunday and Monday, then we have to flush it and get on the next one.”

The North Carolina native even went on to say that Swinney had a message for the team: “We earned what we got.” Henry, who is a veteran on the defensive line, said that the mental aspect of these types of games is a key factor and was what the Tigers were missing on Saturday.

“We earned what we got tonight,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong. Notre Dame, a more physical team, more disciplined team, they played better than us tonight, but we also helped them. There was just some things where we really didn’t help ourselves in a lot of situations from the jump. Like Coach Swinney said, mental is big in these games, especially when we lost here last time. I knew how this crowd would get. So, really didn’t help ourselves from the jump and definitely have to be better in those situations.”

However, the senior attempted to look forward despite the crushing loss on the road. Henry reflected on being 4-3 after seven games last year. Yet despite that start, the Tigers went on to finish the season 10-3. He emphasized the importance of responding to adversity, and that’s what the team will have to do to finish the final stretch of the season strong at home.

“It was our decision to respond,” he said. “This is our first loss this year, and we are going to be granted with that same decision to respond. So it will be great to see what these guys are made of and what this locker room expects and expects us to respond in the right way. But at the end of the day, we have to show it. It will be great to see what we put on the field next time we step out.”

Grading Clemson’s defense at the bye week

How has Clemson’s s defense performed this season? Here’s a grade for the unit at the Tigers’ bye week.

The 2022 college football season has been far more friendly towards Clemson, with the Tigers defense performing at a high level like fans have become accustomed to.

Dabo Swinney and the Tigers currently rank as the No.5 team in the country with an undefeated record 8-0 (6-0 ACC) and will get some much needed rest this weekend during their bye week. While the Tigers have played some great football this season, the bye week is coming at a great time as the team struggled in their 27-21 win over Syracuse.

As we wait for more Clemson football past the bye week, now felt like a time to break down and asses how the Tigers have been performing this season. 

Here is a look at our grades for Clemson’s defensive performance so far this season. 

Clemson not going to apologize for winning

Clemson has been far from perfect this season except in the only category that matters, a fact that wasn’t lost on the man that’s coached the Tigers to another unblemished record to this point. “I think we’re the only 8-0 team in the country,” …

Clemson has been far from perfect this season except in the only category that matters, a fact that wasn’t lost on the man that’s coached the Tigers to another unblemished record to this point.

“I think we’re the only 8-0 team in the country,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney astutely remarked this week.

The Tigers have cleared every hurdle so far in their race to get back to the top of the ACC and another College Football Playoff, even if it hasn’t been the smoothest run. Since its 31-point opening win over Georgia Tech, Clemson has hardly looked dominant as it continues to search for consistent complementary football.

At times, it’s been the offense bailing out the defense. And other times, the defense has helped the offense when it bogs down or shoots itself in the proverbial foot with turnovers. So far, the Tigers have done enough collectively to overcome their issues to keep their record perfect.

“It might not be the prettiest, but we’re so happy we’re 8-0 going into the bye week,” senior defensive end K.J. Henry said. “We definitely know we can do so much better, but at the same time, you have to appreciate being 8-0 for sure.”

It was the ugliest it’s been for the Tigers their last time out. Not only was Syracuse carving up Clemson’s Jekyll-and-Hyde defense, but the offense also committed the most turnovers it has in the last six years to fall in a two-touchdown hole late in the first half, a deficit that was still at two scores late into the third quarter.

But the Tigers clamped down in the final two quarters, and the offense quit turning the ball over then with some help from freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik, who led two second-half touchdown drives in relief of D.J. Uiagalelei, who committed all but one of the Tigers’ four turnovers in two and a half quarters. Clemson won 27-21 to run the nation’s longest active winning streak to 14 games.

“Really just proud of our never-quit attitude,” said Swinney, who’s overseen six of the nine 8-0 starts to a season in program history. “We’ve certainly made enough mistakes to lose probably a couple of games, but we’ve won. And to win a game like that, you’ve just kind of got to tip your hat to your guys.”

Clemson is not too far removed from a reminder that things could always be worse. This time last season, the Tigers already had three losses en route to missing out on the ACC title game and the CFP for the first time since the 2015 season. So the Tigers aren’t about to apologize for achieving the desired result so far this season.

“Last year, we were sitting here at 4-3 or something like that,” fellow defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro said. “It just shows how hard it is to win. It definitely feels good to see that all of our team’s hard work is getting to be shown. I don’t take it for granted.”

Henry said it makes him appreciative of the wins that continue to come despite Clemson not always having an A performance.

“It’s a balancing act,” Henry said. “We want to (play better) so bad. We’re working day in and day out to just literally impose our will on the next opponent. It’s tough, but after just wanting to be better and focusing on what we need to do to be better, we have to think about last year and really wanting to be better than what we were and just winning.”

Tigers talk getting some R&R during the bye week

After eight long weeks of practice, preparation and a series of physical wins, Clemson is looking forward to some rest and relaxation this weekend. With eight straight wins under the Tigers’ belt, they have received a well-deserved bye week. …

After eight long weeks of practice, preparation and a series of physical wins, Clemson is looking forward to some rest and relaxation this weekend. With eight straight wins under the Tigers’ belt, they have received a well-deserved bye week.

Defensive end K.J. Henry shared with the media on Monday what this week will look like for him.

“I’m about to take so many naps this week,” Henry said. “It’s about to be amazing. Just getting to work on us. Obviously, Notre Dame is the next opponent, but I will be honest with you, I am going to spend this next week focusing on myself becoming better and us growing as a defense. Not even worried about the opponent — worried about the little things, the fundamentals, the things coaches are going to harp on, fixing the small things.”

Henry was candid that he was in need of quite a few naps in the upcoming week, but also emphasized the need to focus on fixing the little details within the defensive unit. He believes that to be able to perform at its best against Notre Dame, the team will need to focus on improving the little details. It’s not so much what Notre Dame brings, but how Clemson as a team prepares, that will be the difference maker in the game.

The focus and attention to the small details prior to the Notre Dame game emphasized by Henry was reiterated by defensive back Andrew Mukuba.

“Obviously, it will take a lot of focus, a lot of studying,” Mukuba said. “I feel like it’s a good thing that we have this bye week, we have more time to watch more film. Just work on what we need to work on, but it’s definitely going to take a lot of focus, because they’re a good team. Once again, have everyone on the same page, because I feel like that’s something we lack sometimes, that’s communicating that everyone’s on the same page. I feel like if we have everyone on the same page on defense, we really dominate for real.”

The sophomore, who is fresh off a dislocated elbow, said the focus for him is more mental than anything else. Mukuba detailed that when the defensive unit can communicate efficiently, that’s when it plays cohesive football.

However, that doesn’t mean he won’t also be catching up on some rest during the bye week as well.

“Me and K.J. probably have the same schedule, get a couple of naps in,” Mukuba said. “Get a couple naps in, some sleep, some rest. That’s important, but yes that’s probably what I’m going to do to.”

Rest and recovery will actually be a critical component for Dabo Swinney’s team as it is headed into the latter stages of the regular season. A week filled with recovery and attention to the small details will be a good preparation for the Tigers’ next test against the Fighting Irish.

K.J. Henry calls this defensive lineman the ‘unsung hero’ of the defense

K.J. Henry, a veteran on the Clemson defensive line, was animated on the sidelines during Saturday’s come-from-behind win over Syracuse. We saw Henry trying to pull the energy out of his teammates after a somewhat slow start to the game.

Henry, who doesn’t necessarily view himself as a guy who gets in the other guys’ faces, feels like it was what the defense needed. The Tigers needed a little spark to get them going and whatever he did worked, shutting Syracuse out in the second half.

The defensive end shared with the media on Monday why he believes it was necessary to be more vocal in that moment.

“Getting in people’s faces isn’t really me, that isn’t really how I go about business,” he said. “It works for some, that’s just not how I’m built. That was definitely out of the usual for me this weekend. Like I said, I think that was positive. I only speak when it’s needed. I don’t want to be a guy who’s talking for no reason, but definitely want to be heard when I speak.”

Henry doesn’t describe himself as outwardly vocal during those critical moments, but does ensure when he speaks it is with meaning and conviction. The fifth-year senior shared with the media that one of his teammates serves an inspiration for him, when it comes to bringing the energy.

“From Ruke (Orhorhoro), I learn how to bring that energy, that’s what I learn from Ruke,” he said. “Speaking of someone, who’s one hundred miles a minute every opportunity he gets. I learn to bring energy for sure. I try to be a guy with that energy, but there’s definitely some days that it’s tough.”

Orhorhoro, the Tigers’ redshirt junior defensive tackle, has been credited with 16 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks on the season, but it’s the energy he brings day in and day out, that Henry regards as being a key factor in motivating the defense.

“He’s been great man,” Henry said. “You can ask anyone on the defense, he’s been somewhat of a spark of this defense, the unsung hero if you will. He’s definitely helped us and helped himself, he’s played good ball this year.”

Orhorhoro, in his own words, shared that this “energy” Henry emphasized is just who he is.

“I just try to do my part,” he said. “I’m an energetic guy and I try to bring a lot of energy to the team if we need, and even if we don’t need it I just like talking and bringing the sideline together, having fun and playing football.”

Henry has a theory for inconsistency plaguing Clemson’s defense

A rollercoaster season for Clemson’s defense continued Saturday against Syracuse. The unit offered little resistance early in the Tigers’ comeback win. Syracuse struck first, needing just five plays and 2 minutes, 15 seconds to go 75 yards for a …

A rollercoaster season for Clemson’s defense continued Saturday against Syracuse.

The unit offered little resistance early in the Tigers’ comeback win. Syracuse struck first, needing just five plays and 2 minutes, 15 seconds to go 75 yards for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. The Orange then had Clemson facing a 21-7 deficit midway through the second when quarterback Garrett Shrader scrambled for a 7-yard score that capped a 68-yard march taking just 2:47 off the clock.

But after yielding nearly 200 yards in the first two quarters, Clemson suffocated the Orange during a second-half shutout. All of Syracuse’s drives in the final two quarters ended with a punt or a turnover as the Orange mustered just 119 yards after halftime.

It’s been that way for Clemson’s defense for most of the season. At times, the group looks like the suffocating unit that many expected to see coming into the season. Other times, it looks like anything but.

The Tigers rank in the top 30 nationally in yards (332.5 per game) and points (19.9) allowed after eight games. They’re also outside the top 60 in passing yards allowed (244.6 per game) and red-zone defense (83.3%) Asked what’s led to so much inconsistency on that side of the ball, veteran defensive end K.J. Henry said that question has been posed to him countless times by not only the media but also coaches and his own family.

“For the most part, (the answer) has been I don’t know,” he said. “As much as I’d love to pinpoint the exact problem because then we’d attack it, I can’t really speak to it.”

But Henry does have an educated guess, which centers on some of the new faces the defense is breaking in this season. Clemson has three new starters in the secondary and a pair of first-year starters at linebacker in sophomores Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Barrett Carter.

Henry said believes that’s contributing to the group not trusting their preparation and play too passive at times.

“That’s just my hunch. I could be totally wrong, but if I’m right, then we’ve just got to work to find and build that confidence,” Henry said. “It could be guys who just don’t have much playing experience, and I definitely understand that. When you’re not out there as much and all you’re doing is learning on the practice field and then you’re thrown out into some critical situations, the first thing any athlete is going to do is think I don’t want to mess up because they care about the moment.

“We’ve just got to shift the mindset in our guys from I don’t want to mess up to I want to dominate this moment and dominate my opponent. That’s where we need to try to get because I feel like that’s where a lot of us are, is I don’t want to mess up. And we just can’t attack in that mindset.”

Henry used the week of practice leading up to the Syracuse game as an example.

“We knew Shrader was a good runner. That was not in question, and the coaches did a great job of preparing us for that throughout the week,” Henry said. “But it seemed like it took us until halftime to kind of believe it with our own eyes as a defense, and I think that’s where if I had to try to pinpoint that exact issue, I think that’s kind of where we have to trust what we’ve been studying all week and trust that we’re eight and about to be nine games in. We’ll get some nuances because people are trying to beat us, but people are who they are at this point in the season. So we’ve really got to trust the preparation and have confidence from that.”

Henry acknowledged all the attrition the defense dealt with in the first half of the season may have played a role in the up-and-down performances as well. But with its share of experience back from the nation’s No. 2 scoring defense last season as well, Henry said he been surprised there’s been this much ebb and flow with the unit.

Henry is part of a defensive line that returned its entire two-deep from last season. Trenton Simpson is in his second season as a full-time starter at the second level, and the back end also features a pair of senior starters in cornerback Sheridan Jones and safety Jalyn Phillips.

“I’m expecting us to go out and dominate,” he said. “So on Saturdays, it definitely comes as a surprise factor because, once again, I know how we practice. You ask (head) coach (Dabo) Swinney or anybody on this team, especially the last three weeks, our practices have been stellar. … When you have that good preparation, that’s where the confidence comes in to know that you’re ready for the moment. So when stuff gets a little off, you just ask questions like, ‘What could it be?’”

Not all of Henry’s teammates subscribe to his theory. Defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro said he feels like it’s “the little things” from a technique standpoint that are keeping the unit from putting it all together. And with two-thirds of the regular season in the books, sophomore safety Andrew Mukuba said a perceived lack of experience among the Tigers’ younger contributors isn’t an excuse.

“Everybody’s done played a lot,” Mukuba said. “We’ve got guys on the back end like the freshmen. (Safety Sherrod) Covil has played a lot. I don’t look at him as a freshman because he knows what it’s like to be out there on the field. (Cornerback Toriando) Pride has played a lot. The young guys have played a lot. The sophomores, (cornerback) Nate (Wiggins), he’s been playing a lot. Me, Barrett, Jeremiah.

“Being this deep into games, I feel like everybody should be on the same page and should know what to expect with everything that’s going on out there.”

Henry didn’t exclude himself from the spotty play. He was the one responsible for coverage on Sean Tucker when Syracuse’s star running back caught the Orange’s first touchdown on a wheel route out of the backfield.

“Just going better job this week overall on our technique, and I’m at the helm of that,” Henry said. “I’m not playing perfect either. I have some work to do.”

The defense has an extra week to try to solve the riddle before Clemson’s trip to Notre Dame on Nov. 5.

Clemson DE tied for FBS lead in this stat over last two weeks

This standout Clemson pass rusher has been harrassing quarterbacks on a consistent basis.

The Tigers’ graduate senior defensive end, K.J. Henry, is tied for the FBS lead with 16 quarterback pressures over the past couple of weeks per Pro Football Focus.

Only Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr., the reigning Nagurski Trophy winner as the nation’s top defensive player last season, has as many quarterback pressures as Henry in the last two weeks.

Henry was credited with two tackles (one for loss) and the fourth fumble recovery of his career vs. NC State two weeks ago before contributing two tackles (one for loss) at Boston College last week.

In his fifth year at Clemson, the native of Winston-Salem, N.C., has tallied a team-high 5.5 tackles for loss through six games this season. He has recorded 22 total tackles, a sack and a pass breakup to go with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Henry entered the 2022 season having registered 88 career tackles (19.0 for loss), 10.0 sacks, five pass breakups, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in 1,112 snaps over 44 career games (10 starts).
