C.J. Spiller scored a touchdown and had 172 all-purpose yards in his final college game, leading Clemson to a 21-13 victory Sunday night in the Music City Bowl at Nashville. The Tigers (9-5) hadn't won a bowl since the 2005 Champs Sports Bowl. Kentucky (7-6) was trying to make program history by winning a fourth straight bowl game. Spiller, the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, scored the 51st touchdown of his career -- a Clemson record -- on an eight-yard run with 10:14 left in the fourth quarter to make it 21-13. Spiller finished with 68 yards in 15 carries and 57 yards on three catches. He was named the game's most valuable player. His 7,588 career all-purpose yards to eclipse former Memphis standout DeAngelo Williams (7,573) for second place among FBS players. Man I can't wait to see this guy on Sundays. Spiller, who ran for 233 yards and four touchdowns in the ACC championship loss to Georgia Tech, leaves with a school-record 51 touchdowns. He had 21 scores this year to tie the ACC single-season record with North Carolina's Dan McCauley.
