The Huskers (6-6) will play Boston College (7-5) in the Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday, ending the longest active bowl drought in any of the power conferences. Nebraska last appeared in the postseason in 2016, a stretch of losing seasons that was its longest in more than 60 years.
“It’s been a while,” athletic director Troy Dannen said after accepting the bowl invitation.
The trip ends Nebraska’s longest bowl drought since the one that ended in 1961.
Starting quarterback for the Huskers, Dylan Raiola, comes into this one listed with a passing yards total of 215.5. We would note that Boston College QB Grayson James has a passing yards total of 177.5.
Raiola has 2,582 passing yards (215.2 per game) while completing 66.3% of passes (252 for 380), with 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Dante Dowdell has 143 carries for 614 rushing yards (51.2 per game) and 12 touchdowns. Banks has 40 receptions for 508 yards (42.3 per game) and has three touchdowns.
Cornerback Tommi Hill (foot), offensive lineman Micah Mazzccua (shoulder) and receiver Isaiah Neyor (opt out) have said they will sit out the Pinstripe Bowl, leaving a depleted roster to face an Eagles team that lost coaches after last season and changed quarterbacks in the middle of this one.
This game features a line of Nebraska -4.
