WVU vs. Clemson in Orange Bowl tonight at 8 PM! [View all]
WVU's opportunity arrives
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - It was back in 2006 when an upstart coach named Rich Rodriguez took West Virginia to the Georgia Dome.
He made a name for himself. Put WVU in college football's national spotlight.
Today, first-year coach Dana Holgorsen and West Virginia have a similar opportunity against Clemson in the 8 p.m. Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium - with a twist. That twist is pulling off this upset shouldn't be as difficult.
Winning certainly won't be easy. And if you predict WVU will get blown out, no one will laugh. Clemson won the Atlantic Coast Conference in style, defeating Sugar Bowl participant Virginia Tech by 38-10. The Tigers, in fact, beat the Hokies twice this season, also winning 23-3. They also defeated teams like Auburn, last season's national champ, and Florida State. Have an impressive resume and impressive athletes.

Remember that gutsy punt fake against Georgia that clinched the 2006 Sugar Bowl win? Heh heh.
