- The appearance in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl marked Nebraska's 54th all-time bowl appearance and the Huskers' first since 2016. Following today's victory, Nebraska has a 27-27 all-time record in bowl games

- Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule improved to 2-2 in bowl games. Nebraska is the third school he has guided to a bowl game, including Temple and Baylor

- Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola completed 23-of-31 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown in today's game, pushing his season passing total to 2,826 yards, setting a Nebraska freshman passing record. The previous record was 2,617 yards set by Adrian Martinez in 2018.

- Raiola's 2,826 passing yards rank seventh overall on the Nebraska single-season passing list

- Senior running back Rahmir Johnson, a Harlem native, scored his first rushing touchdown of the season and the seventh of his career to open the scoring. Johnson finished the game with 10 carries for 60 yards and finished his Nebraska career with 1,000 rushing yards. Johnson earned Pinstripe Bowl MVP honors with his performance in the game.

- Sophomore running back Emmett Johnson rushed for 68 yards in the game, pushing his career total to 1,002 yards. Johnson also caught five passes, including a 13-yard TD catch. He finished the season with 40 receptions, the most by a Husker running back since Marlon Lucky had a school-record 75 catches in 2007.

- Rahmir Johnson and Emmett Johnson became the 69th and 70th 1000-yard career rushers in Nebraska history

- Freshman receiver Jacory Barney Jr. caught three passes in the game, pushing his season receptions total to 55, tying a Nebraska freshman record. His pass reception total ties JD Spielman who had 55 receptions as a redshirt freshman in 2017. The receptions total is also tied for 10th overall on the NU single-season receptions list.

- Redshirt freshman running back Kwinten Ives, a native of Beverly, New Jersey, scored his first career touchdown run on a two-yard run in the second quarter

- Freshman linebacker Vincent Shavers finished the game with six tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble, all career highs

Played pretty good today, good to see one of the young DBs finally step up. Congratulations to the young man.

Nebraska's back and we're here to stay!

Get a roster of kids that care as much as him and the sky’s the limit.

Did he make the trip?

Maybe missed him, but have not seen him take a snap.

Koby Bretz is back in the portal lmfao.
Do not contact tag this time.
Tried to come back and Rhule was like, did you not see Jones balling out? We good dawg

... made it tough for me yesterday.... my boys have been raised Husker fans even though neither have ever lived in Nebraska... we watched together( i rarely do anymore) but with 7 minutes to go my oldest said " i think we have this"... i said" son, are you crazy??? have you not seen us the last two years?"
After they scored, i went down to our game room to play ping pong with one of my grandkids until it was over... he was thrilled with the attention!😂
The bottom line is... i loved 95% of the game, and i think i love where we are going... we were realistically chances away from being 11-2 or 10-3...
i loved our older kids who stayed and performed!
Our biggest need... special teams coach...

the coffee tastes better today...🙂

😣😡😡😡

Same as 4th Turnover!!!!

Disappointing. Find some guys in the portal who can actually tackle.

I look forward to football season so much and love watching the Huskers play each week. Truly excited that we got one more game this year and watching them play in the cold, wet and mud reminded me of being younger playing in those elements.

A lot of extremely exciting moments - as I watched the Huskers take down Colorado in person and it was one of the most fun games I have ever seen in person. Obviously several heartbreaking moments too.

With that said - I trust our coach and trust Dana and am so thrilled we have Dylan. I’m going to be missing the Big Red until the end of August and can’t wait to see the 2025 version next year.

Thanks for the joy of the season Huskers - got some monkeys off our back and we will get more next year! GO BIG RED!!!!


p.s. - Please let the 2025 Huskers not have Foley leading Special Teams. 🙏

I am taking 1 week

We all know our special teams are god awful. The questions I have since I have no idea how an everyday practice works: How much time is allocated in practice to special teams? Does special teams separate in practice and work in a group for the whole time? How much of our problems hang on Foley if there isn’t much time per practice on ST?

I’m just trying to figure it out. Reason I ask these questions is because it seems like they hardly ever practice special teams. It happens so often that something besides Foley is off IMO.

Would love to see the puffs lose

Koby Bretz is coming back.
