New Story: Clemson to face Oklahoma in Russell Athletic Bowl


Dec 7, 2014, 5:35 PM

 
Clemson to face Oklahoma in Russell Athletic Bowl

Clemson will play Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Dec. 29th in Orlando, Florida, and one ACC media tweeted out Sunday afternoon that the game has a BCS feel to it. Photo by Mark. D Smith / USATODAY

Not only does it have a BCS feel, but features plenty of storylines starting with Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables facing off against the Sooners, a team a he coached for from 1999-2011. TigerNet takes a quick early look at the matchup.

Good matchup. I like it. Don't care OU not being ranked like some whinerz. Go Tigers!

You should care. I want the highest ranked team they'll give us. I'd pick #5 every year we are not in the playoffs.

Playing an unranked team as the ranked team only benefits one team...

Not if you're in the SEC

You lose to an unranked and climb three spots in the polls

"has a bcs feel to it"

ha

good game with great programs but that's a stretch

committee is afraid to pit us against an $EC team ;-)


Dec 7, 2014, 5:56 PM

They know that if they let us play a higher ranked $EC or equivalent team that we'll beat them...justifying the opinion they screw our conference at every opportunity, like they have with FSU in the polls as the only unbeaten non-number 1!

Was hoping to have the chance at smacking another $EC team around...

GO TIGERS!!!

curious about one of the tidbits mention


Dec 7, 2014, 6:01 PM

"The Sooners will be facing an ACC opponent in a postseason contest for the first time since registering a 48-14 victory over Virginia in the 1991 Gator".....


didn't they play FSU in a bcs title game?

The Big 12 used to be affiliated with the bowl, so the line


Dec 7, 2014, 6:30 PM

about it being their first year is misleading. Remember when we beat Colorado down there (or when we got killed by Texas Tech)? I can see how we all want to forget the latter.

For sure they have forgotten the anorexic fan turn out for our bowl game January, 4th 2012 with Clemson and West Virginia. Yes, that game, it was a Tuesday night slaughter that we still haven't lived down. Take all the bowl practices and forfeit;)

Knew they wouldn't give us an SEC team


Dec 7, 2014, 6:46 PM

Too afraid we'd beat them again

Dawgs will show you Tigers how to beat Louisville. What SEC team did yall want to play? Ole Miss? LSU? I think Cu got a decent match up with Oklahoma.

Actually we would have loved to get the pups on a neutral field some where, any where as long as the team we were matched up with was from the sec named the Georgia bulldogs. H&ll yes, bring on the pups!!!!

Y'all bull pups really should ask for a rematch with GT in a bowl game.

Good matchup, Sooners have great tradition and always field a solid team...They are definitely one of the top programs out there....Cool to see Venables face his old team too^^

I'm sure at some point he wanted to face his old friends at Oak. And this is by far his best D at Clemson, and the best at Clemson since way back. But this will also be our first game with CO COORDINATORS!!!

Re: New Story: Clemson to face Oklahoma in Russell Athletic Bowl

Am I the only one that took notice to this statement; even though we have heard that Elliott will call the plays. Or, am I the only one that hasn't heard that Tony will be the play caller. If this is the case and not a typo, it does seem strange being that it would seem that Jeff has the most experience in the play calling department even if it was only as the HC of HS championship team. I surly hope this Co coordinator thing isn't going to be like Dabo's both QB's will play deal. Our coaches don't graduate and move on to get a coach out of a mess that was created the start of the season. I truly believe we have 2 losses b/c the best QB was not named the starter in the fall, and wasn't prepared as a starter. Loyalty is good and great, but you can't allow let it to become your #1 downfall!!!

Good match up. BCS feel ? Not even close. Sooner unranked, but still a tough team. BV and the D will have their hands full with their running back. Still, should be a.good game with a Tiger win.if the offense is hitting on all cylindsrs. Got.to protect DW and open holes for our running backs. CU THERE. GO TIGERS !!!
