The Clemson Tigers will face the Oklahoma Sooners in the Russell Athletics Bowl Monday. Both teams lean on their running game, and each team is quite capable defensively. I expect to see a gritty defensive battle, and think the total looks a little too high.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Defense - The Tigers boast the nation's top ranked defense, holding the opposition to just 17.6 points per game during the season.

2. Wayne Gallman - The Clemson RB had his best game of they year in the season finale, running for 191 yards and a TD on 27 carries.

3. X-Factor - The Tigers have seen the total go under in seven of their last eight overall, and six straight on grass.

Selection: This is a play on OKLA@CLEM to go Under the total (10*)
