Guess The Score! Nebraska-Clemson!
845 views
Ah, so we've come to it - the end of the line, as far as Nebraska football season goes.
How optimistic are you about this Gator Bowl? We've gone back and forth on it. For one thing, Nebraska going to be playing one of the fastest, most athletic teams it has played all year. Short of Oklahoma and Virginia Tech, Clemson might have the most raw talent on both sides of the ball.
Beyond that, the Tigers are now motivated by new coach Dabo Swinney. They "believe" again. Coupled with top ten talent, that's a scary proposition.
So we'll see. We think Nebraska's West Coast Offense has grown mightily since that Va Tech game, and thus can stress Clemson in ways that no offense has all year. We think NU's defensive line can beat CU's offensive line, too. BUT, we also think Clemson's defensive line might be as tough for the Huskers' o-line to handle as any this year.
We expect a close, well-played game with more scoring in the first half than the second. It's a even-up contest, frankly - one of the best pure matchups of the bowl season, and we like Nebraska to emerge with a 24-21 win - thanks to an Alex Henery 45-yarder with less than a minute in the game.
What's your take?

I think the Huskers will feast on Tiger meat. NU 35 Clemson 24. Emotion is so important and with even more to play for the boys in Red will not disappoint.

Rough early, maybe tied or three points at half time. I think we get ahead in the third and then the beef takes over, pound, pound, pound on the ground and a play action pass here and there. Wear them out in the fourth for a 35 - 17 win.
