The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s 20-15 win over Boston College in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl: 

  • On a sloppy day at Yankee Stadium, the Big Red gets a W in the Big Apple. 
  • Not always perfect, but the Huskers won the line of scrimmage and made big plays when they most needed to. 
  • Offense moved the ball consistently.
  • Youth movement takes center stage on defense. 
  • Special teams disaster once again (but thankfully, not terminal). 
  • Rahmir Johnson’s big day. 
  • TyRob and the Polar Bear have their way with BC’s O Line. 
  • Seniors get their bowl win, and hopefully set a foundation for much bigger success in the future. 

Plus, the boys talk about their excitement for what’s to come in 2025:

  • Offense set for a big leap under Dana Holgorsen. 
  • Even with major departures on defense, the combination of young talent, transfer portal additions, and Matt Rhule’s track record give hope for continued excellence by the Blackshirts. 
  • Special teams overhaul. 
  • Year 2 for Dylan.
