Gator Bowl Breakdown (thru Orange Colored-Glasses) from Charleston.com

Below we have match-ups on the offensive side of the ball from the fine folks over at Charleston.com . Peep their full corps-by-corps breakdown HERE.

Quarterback

If Nebraska QB Joe Ganz played in any other conference besides the Big 12, he would be a national name. However, in the Big 12, Ganz is barely an afterthought.

Ganz threw for 3,332 yards and 23 TDs and holds just about every major single-season passing mark at Nebraska. He would have easily been the best QB in the ACC this season.

Clemson’s Cullen Harper, the ACC’s preseason offensive player of the year, had a slow start, but finished with 2,395 passing yards, but had more INTs (12) than TDs (11).

Running Back

This will be the last game for ‘Thunder and Lightning’ (aka James Davis and C.J. Spiller). Davis needs 112 yards to become Clemson’s all-time leading rusher.

As the Tigers offensive line has improved Spiller and Davis have been able to recapture some of their ‘Thunder and Lightning’ magic.

Nebraska’s Roy Helu, Jr., and Marlon Lucky (1,321 yds., and 14 TDs) are an underrated duo and have actually combined for just as many rushing yards as ‘Thunder and Lightning’ (1,337 yds., 18 TDs) this season.

 

Offensive Line

Clemson’s offensive line has suffered through a slew of injuries and lineup changes for most of the season.

Tigers have used seven different starting combinations on the offensive line. It wasn’t until the Boston College game that the Tigers finally settled on a starting five.

Nebraska has the 12th-ranked offense in the country for a reason. A big, physical offensive line that is anchored by All-Big 12 guard Matt Slauson. The Cornhuskers start two seniors and a junior.

 

Wide Receiver

Both teams feature the most productive wide receivers in school history. For Clemson it’s Aaron Kelly, who will finish his career as the ACC’s all-time leading receiver. Jacoby Ford has six career TDs of more than 50 yards.

Throw in the reliable Tyler Grisham, who has 131 career receptions, and the Tigers have plenty of weapons. Nebraska’s Nate Swift (163 receptions) and Todd Peterson (104 receptions) have 267 career catches between them. Swift needs 36 receiving yards to become the school’s all-time leader in that category.
