Nebraska football is back in the bowl spotlight for the first time since 2016, squaring off against Boston College in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. This matchup promises to be an exciting clash as both teams look to cap off their seasons with a victory at Yankee Stadium in New York City.
Nebraska’s Journey to Bowl Eligibility
On the flip side, Nebraska (6-6) had a tale of two seasons. They hit the ground running with a 5-1 start, with their only blemish being a hard-fought loss to a ranked Illinois squad. However, the second half of the season wasn’t so kind. The Cornhuskers dropped five of their last six matchups, including tough games against UCLA, USC, and Iowa. Still, they punched their ticket to bowl eligibility with a convincing 44-25 win over Wisconsin in their penultimate game.
Boston College’s Rollercoaster Season
Boston College (7-5) had a rollercoaster of a season, kicking things off with a 4-1 start. Their only stumble early on was a nail-biter against Missouri, losing by just six points. Then came a midseason slump, with losses in four out of five games—though they managed to squeak out a six-point win over Syracuse. But the Eagles didn’t end the year quietly. They soared to victory in their final two games, toppling North Carolina 41-21 and rolling past Pitt 34-23.
