Nebraska football is all set to make its way to the vibrant city of New York. The Huskers are gearing up to face off against the Boston College Eagles in the highly anticipated Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. This exciting game is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. CST on December 28 at the renowned Yankee Stadium.

Televised Nationally and a Historic Encounter

The game will be broadcasted nationally on ABC, bringing the action to football fans across the country. It's a significant moment as Nebraska and Boston College have never met before. Both schools have a rich history in college football, dating back to the early 1890s.Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule expressed his team's excitement, saying, "Our team is looking forward to the opportunity to spend the bowl season in New York City and play in the Pinstripe Bowl. This is a great connection between two iconic brands in Nebraska football and Yankee Stadium, and it will be a memorable experience for our players. I have great respect for the Boston College program and the success Coach O’Brien has had in his first season."Nebraska's postseason history includes a trip to New York City. In 1962, the Huskers defeated Miami in the Gotham Bowl, marking their third bowl appearance and the first victory in school history. This adds to the significance of their upcoming game in the Pinstripe Bowl.

Alumni Presence and University Pride

Nebraska has a strong alumni presence on the East Coast, with nearly 1,800 University of Nebraska alumni calling the New York City metro area home. University of Nebraska President Dr. Jeffrey P. Gold expressed his pride, saying, "Nebraska asked for a bowl game, and this incredible group of student-athletes sure delivered. I am so proud of our team and our coaching staff, and like so many others in this state, I’m thrilled to be a part of Husker Nation and eagerly anticipating the historic moment when the sea of red floods Yankee Stadium."
