At first, Nebraska playing in a bowl in late December in New York City sounded like a form of punishment rather than a reward for a successful season. It's true, playing in a balmy Florida, Arizona or California might be more appealing.

Nebraska’s football season still has one more battle. The Huskers are looking to add one final win to their record in what will be Nebraska’s first bowl appearance since 2016. The Huskers are preparing to face Boston College in the 2024 Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl in New York.
