Nebraska finally made it to a bowl game for the first time since 2016, and that is motivation enough for the Cornhuskers, who lost five of their past six while playing a demanding schedule down the stretch. Boston College has lost four of five straight up as an underdog, and Nebraska has covered four against ACC teams. The Huskers are led by QB Dylan Raiola, who threw for 2,595 yards and 12 TDs this season. Nebraska's defense is #17 in the country, allowing 315.4 yards per game. The Huskers also are #17 in scoring defense, allowing 19.8 points per game. Boston College allows 360.5 yards overall and 246.9 passing yards per contest. Thomas Castellanos began the season as Boston College's starting quarterback and entered the transfer portal. Grayson James took over for the final three games. The Huskers have the edge defensively, and except for the Indiana game, the stop unit has played well this season. Take Nebraska.
