Looks to be a good one. Two fun programs to watch in my opinion

Here's a good article on the two team's offensive coordinators:

"Still, the success by Oklahoma and Clemson speaks to how younger coaches can both revamp or maintain offenses. Age and experience have no boundaries for this Orange Bowl.

In Oklahoma's case, Stoops turned back time by returning to the roots of his program and resurrecting a version of Mike Leach's Air Raid offense. Leach was Stoops' first offensive coordinator when the Sooners won the national championship in 2000. Leach later became a mentor of Riley, a failed Texas Tech quarterback who became a trusted assistant.

During the second half of this season, the Sooners' offense has been nearly unstoppable. They're averaging 45.8 points per game (third nationally) and 6.95 yards per play (eighth) for the season. Stoops promised Riley he would leave him alone to run his offense, and Riley said that's what he has done.

“There were times early in the year when he could have questioned it -- through three quarters at Tennessee, the first half of the Texas game -- and he never did,” Riley said. “He showed an unwavering belief in it.”

I wonder if Clemson's punter is looking for a QB scholarship. That throw was better than any throw I've personally witnessed by a UNT QB outside of that dart D Smith threw vs WKU to end the first half. 

 

 

*The mighty duck V on the commercial breakaway is pretty cheesy.
