Huskers open up 3.5 favorites in the Pinstripe bowl
- Thread starter scarletred

So much of bowl games anymore is decided on which team cares and has players actually showing up to play. Our offense struggled this year and we have a lot of defections on defense. Also, Foley is still around our special teams for another few weeks. Not sure what BC will be bringing to the table.
This will be a close game. BC defense is pretty good, we will be thin at many spots on defense. I will likely play the under.
I'm excited for the bowl game! It's kinda cool that Rhule is from the NYC area, even if not an ideal destination for Nebraska. I'm not going to let anyone tell me this event is underwhelming or meaningless!
Exactly. So excited to finally play in a bowl. And finally our players will have extra practices. That will pay huge dividends if they can consistently get the extra bowl practices.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Huskers play one more time this year.
I so badly want to believe that after such a drought and with how things ended at Iowa that this team is Hungry for a win and will Rock it! Add in the fact that EJ is back and I think there's a spark... GBR!
Forgot that baseball fields don’t have heating coils underneath like a lot of football fields. That surface could be a rock hard sheet of ice 😆

BC QB ran for 194 yds and an ave of 2.1. Looks like the ability to scramble, but BC isn't making a living running their QB.
Did a little scouting, watched these highlights from their last game vs. Pitt. Honestly, they look tough. I have no clue about Pitt but the QB looks good, the RB legit, WR's good.... defense gets pressure with the front 4. Gonna be a hard test.
