Gator Bowl: Clemson Tigers vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

It's amazing what coaching leadership can do to a team. Bo Pellini comes to Nebraska, instills his brand of discipline, and all of a sudden the Cornhuskers are playing in a New Year's Day Bowl.

Same goes for the Clemson Tigers who got rid of the younger Bowden during the season. They've gone 4 and 1 straight-up since then including beating the hell out of the South Carolina Gamecocks who are playing in the Outback Bowl.

I love what Pellini is doing in Nebraska, but I have to be honest, I just don't see the Cornhuskers putting up a big fight in this game. The Clemson Tigers are playing with passion right now.

To me, they cover the 2 points easily in the Gator Bowl.

I'm taking the Clemson Tigers at - 2 against the spread in the Gator Bowl.
