[Husker] clemson

[David Fernandez]

I dont know if I'd agree.  I think the perception here in the South is that Clemson was a Top 10 preseason team that couldnt win the big one and cost Tommy Bowden his job.  Dabo is young and the players seem to play hard for him.  Defensive they are strong, they have won
several here of late like Nebraska has and have dominated in those wins.  Clemson will travel well and they are fired up with their new coach.  I would be suprised to see Nebraska as a favorite in this game.  
 
GT keeps winning with option football.  What a concept huh? :)
FSU, who knows which team you get week to week.  
Miami, the speed and athletes on that team, how they have lost some of the game they have is unknown.
Clemson, I think this is a good match-up for Nebraska to see where we are at the moment.

The national perception of the ACC is that it is a weak conference this year.
Clemson is seen as a weak team. If we win it will be expected. The #4 or 5 team
from the Big XII (toughest conference in football) beating the #7 team in the
ACC (weak conference). At least playing FSU, GT, or Miami gives NU some national
recognition. If we were to slip up and lose to Clemson people are going to say
"well I guess they weren't as good as we thought". I dont think
this is a good situation for NU at this time. Besides the Gator should be able
to give us a better team then that. I think we might have been better off going
to the Alamo or Sun now.

"I am hearing from some guys at Bighuskerfan.com that NU will play Clemson
in the Gator Bowl. Really disappointing if you ask me. Clemson is like the
number 7 team in the ACC. This really sucks."

Clemson is 4-2 since they removed Tommy Bowden and replaced him with interim
head coach Dabo Swinney, who is going to be their permanent coach. He's
young and fired up, like Bo, and everyone seems very happy in Death Valley. 

As for the Gator Bowl, they'd love to have Papa Bowden on CBS, but FSU has
been on a slide as the season progressed. Also, FSU has played twice in Jax
this
season and one of those, against Colorado, attendance was about 40k. So FSU
fans
may be fatigued. 

For Nebraska and Clemson, they met 27 years ago in the 1982 Orange Bowl, and
with the 22-15 victory, Danny Ford and the Tigers claimed the MNC. Also,
Clemson, like Nebraska, is known to travel very well, and a full stadium makes
everyone happy.
