FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- If Mike Stoops knows what to expect from Jordan Leggett or how he’s planning to match up against the Clemson tight end, he’s not showing his hand.
“Are you going to play nickel? Play regular?” Stoops asked rhetorically. “That’s what they’re trying to see, how we’re going to play with that guy in the game.”
It’s perhaps the biggest unknown in the Capital One Orange Bowl.
Leggett is one of Clemson’s most dangerous weapons, an All-ACC performer and exceptional red zone target. The Tigers use him as an inside blocker, an over-the-middle receiver, a deep threat, an outside receiver -- just about anywhere on the field.
