[Husker] Gator Bowl thoughts?

[Skylar Dodds]

I too REALLY like the way we match up.  I like our vastly improved D-Line vs
their run attack and I think the reason our LBs have looked bad this year is
because their more of the run-stopping type rather than the cover type.

Their offense isn't going to scare anyone and our defense is playing better.
Their defense is solid, but I still think we put up 40.

I'm not sure why, but I just REALLY feel that we're going to win this one
pretty handily.  42-24 ish...

Vegas likes Clemson by 2.5 points.  They will have a bigger fan following
since they both travel well and are closer to Jax but NU will be represented
well.

As a team, Clemson's season came very close to NU's.  They started slow at
3-3, then when Bowden stepped down, turned things around to end up 7-5.  I'm
not exactly sure why Vegas likes Clemson more, since we had a better record
in a better conference, but who knows.  Statisically, Clemson has a much
better defense and their running backs are extremely fast (CJ Spiller is an
NCAA sprinter of some sort).  Clemson started out slow because their O line
was very poor early, but they reportedly moved players around until they
found a unit that would work.

Personally, I like the match-ups.  Our Dline versus their Oline is critical
and I think we win that matchup.  If we can prevent their backs from
breaking out, we should keep them in check.  On D, their safeties and
backers are the strength but I like our chances to run against their line
and to use the wide passing game to move the ball.  Look for NU to use the
running game and short passing game to move the ball consistently.

So how do folks think the Cornhuskers match up with Clemson?
