The University of Nebraska defeated Boston College 20-15 in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl in Yankee Stadium. BC moved into Nebraska territory in six of their first seven drives including three trips into the red zone and five trips inside the Nebraska 35 but somehow managed ZERO offensive points on those drives. The Eagles scored touchdowns in their final two drives but failed to get the ball back late in the game as the Huskers ran out the clock.
Grayson James passed for 301 yards but couldn't add a TD pass. The BC running game struggled, gaining just 47 yards. To be fair, the offensive line was decimiated by injuries and opt-outs. The defense was a mixed bag but Daveon Crouch had a huge game with 14 tackles (9 solo) including a sack and two tackles for loss.
BC finishes 7-5 which means they failed to win eight or more games for the 15th consecutive season.
