HuskerfaninOkieland Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 CFN Bowl Rankings 6. 2009 Gator Bowl Nebraska 26 … Clemson 21 Nebraska was awful early and great late. Clemson took a 14-3 lead into halftime on a 28-yard fumble return for a score from DeAndre McDaniel and a 25-yard Aaron Kelly touchdown catch, and then the Huskers turned it on with four straight scores in the third quarter. Clemson got a 41-yard Jacoby Ford touchdown catch to answer a brilliant 17-yard Nate Swift scoring grab, but the Huskers scored the final 16 points of the game. Todd Peterson kicked off the run with a 19-yard touchdown catch, and then it was all defense with Clemson holding the Huskers to three Alex Henery field goals, a 28-yarder late in the third proving to be the game-winner, and Nebraska finishing with just four rushing yards allowed. Clemson had the ball late with one last shot, but its drive stalled on the Nebraska 26 with a misfire to Jacoby Ford with 1:32 to play. Player of the Game: Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh made eight tackles, two sacks, four tackles for loss, and came up with a blocked kick.

Overall, would not trade it for anything, as it made an awesome trip! All that matters is the final score, and getting that W. Quote Link to comment

Callahan wouldn't have been able to take Texas Tech into overtime. I will take the high intensity, high anxiety wins over over Callahan any day (as most Husker fans would). Nebraska is trying hard, not giving up, and actually looking like a damn good football team. Great time to be a Husker fan. Quote Link to comment
