Nebraska and Boston College Prepare for Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium

Both teams aim to cap their seasons with a victory, as Nebraska faces player opt-outs and Boston College seeks its first eight-win season since 2009.

Nebraska returns to bowl play for the first time since 2016, led by standout freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, who has committed to staying with the program despite transfer rumors.
Boston College, under first-year head coach Bill O'Brien, is aiming for its first eight-win season in 15 years and has seen key contributions from both senior leaders and younger players this season.
Nebraska is dealing with the loss of 11 players due to opt-outs, including significant contributors on both offense and defense, creating opportunities for younger players to step up in the game.
Boston College's Donovan Ezeiruaku, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and emerging offensive talents like running back Kye Robichaux are expected to play pivotal roles in the matchup.
The game holds personal significance for Nebraska coach Matt Rhule, a New York City native, as he leads a team featuring eight players from the New York and New Jersey area.
