TV Coverage: ESPN

Preview: See the first meeting since 1987 between these two schools – the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers – when you watch the Capital One Bowl at 1 p.m., Jan. 2, 2012, from the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Nebraska holds a 3-0 edge in the all-time series with the closest contest coming in the lone game played in Columbia, S.C., a 27-24 ‘Husker win.

South Carolina makes its first trip to the Capital One Bowl by way of a 10-2 record (6-2 SEC). Nebraska (9-3, 5-3 Big Ten) had an excellent first season as a member of the Big Ten Conference.

The Cornhuskers also have one of the nation’s top defenses against the pass (18th, 189.1 ypg) while bringing with it its traditionally-strong rushing attack, averaging 223.9 yards per game (13th nationally). Head coach Bo Pelini will now have taken Nebraska to bowl appearances in each of his four seasons as head coach, posting a 2-1 mark prior to this year’s game. Amazingly, this year will mark the team’s 19th bowl appearance in the state of Florida.

Despite the reputation of Spurrier as the head of an offensive aerial attack, SC’s mantra in 2011 has been its pass defense, which boasts the No. 2 pass defense in the country. The Gamecocks allow a mere 133.0 yards per game through the air and feature the fourth-ranked overall defense in the country, giving up just 268.9 yards per game.

Have an excellent viewing experience when you watch the Capital One Bowl online.
