@angryscowl no this year it was great!

Great pass by Mike Rozier for the touchdown. Right on the money. Mike could throw the ball allot better than Taylor Martinez and He was a I-back. Heck, Rex Burkhead can throw the ball better than Taylor. Nebraska should have won this damn game, Huskers were clearly the best team in the country the next year in '82. Got seriously hosed by the officials at Penn State. Costing Osborne his first National title. The '82 team was better than the '83 because it had the superior defense.

Clemson has games vs. Auburn, Georgia, and Mississippi all one a year for the next five years, in addition to Carolina.

The ACC is just rougher than it used to be.

Though I do miss the David Treadwell Era...

Actually it's Mauer's cousin. Scary part, many people think Joe Mauer was a better QB than a catcher.

Joe Mauer's Daddy Playing QB for the Huskers!!

@angryscowl That was a great rivalry. except for the recent games where Clemson's gotten their ass handed to them. But a much better rivalry than the Palmetto State rivalry.

Clemson needs to play UGA every year...Clemson USED  to have a great out of conference schedule, now, its FAU or LA-Tech
