Boston College Looks for Third Straight Win
Boston College is looking for their third straight win and they should have a ton of confidence heading into this game.

Kye Robichax finished with 21 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown. Boston College on the season is averaging 29.2 points while their defense is giving up 24.1 points per game.

Nebraska is Finally Back in a Bowl Game
Nebraska is finally back in a bowl game and they hope to finish the season on a high note. The last game for Nebraska came against Iowa and it wasn’t a good game. The offense only managed 10 points and even though the defense gave up 13 points, they still ended up losing. Dylan Raiola was up and down his freshman season and against Iowa he completed 22 of his 32 passes for 190 yards. Emmett Johnson finished with 18 carries for 71 yards. Two games ago against Wisconsin, Nebraska scored 44 points and they need to get the offense out to a fast start. Nebraska is averaging 23.8 points while their defense is giving up 19.8 points per game.
Nebraska vs Boston College Prediction
Give me Boston College here. I still am not sold on this Nebraska team, especially Raiola. Boston College is averaging 29.2 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Nebraska’s offense isn’t going to have any answer, and that is going to be the difference here as Boston College is going to get the job done. I think Boston College will win this game outright, but we will take the points.
