We’re putting a bow on the Pinstripe Bowl and Nebraska’s New York experience. Just how important was it for the Huskers to actually win a game with their offense for the first time under coach Matt Rhule? Connor and Mitch are here to tell you.

Nebraska made the most of its first bowl game in eight seasons. And the seniors went out on a high note. Rhule likely appealed to prospective Huskers with his commitment to the older players in the program – and his dedication to the Huskers whose careers ended last year. Players notice. We discuss the impact.

Also, we peek ahead to the College Football Playoff quarterfinals and dip our toe into some offseason talk about Huskers whose roles increased in the season finale. Join us on this Monday – and get ready for our 2025 predictions, coming Tuesday on the Locked On Nebraska podcast.

The season finale came with typical Nebraska football drama, but the Huskers did it. They beat Boston College 20-15 in the Pinstripe Bowl Saturday at Yankee Stadium to finish 7-6. It's the first winning season for Nebraska since 2016 and the first bowl victory since 2015.

Mitch is still in New York. He joined Connor to discuss this wet and sometimes wild win. Rahmir Johnson completed his career on a high note, winning the MVP trophy after his fourth-down run clinched victory in the shadow of his home neighborhood. After the game, coach Matt Rhule shared that Johnson lost his mother this year. All of the emotions surfaced in New York.

Also, Nebraska's special teams nearly cost it another victory. Rhule promised an overhaul of that phase. What does the coach mean by that? And we take a look at Dylan Raiola's day, which was mostly good but included an example or two at the end of his inexperience in completing victories. Raiola and the Huskers got it done in the end, sending us all into the offseason with positive vibes. Join us as we assess this moment for Nebraska.

The Pinstripe Bowl is near. Nebraska’s time on the practice field in December is winding to an end. All that’s left is 60 minutes of football at Yankee Stadium on Saturday as the Huskers meet Boston College on Saturday.

Connor and Mitch are here on this Friday with their picks. How will Dylan Raiola perform in the finale of his freshman season? Is BC quarterback Grayson James set for a big day against the Blackshirts? We’re calling our shots on Emmett Johnson’s rushing yardage, Nebraska’s leading receiver, the turnover margin, Pinstripe MVP. And of course, you’ll get our predictions one more time for a final score.

Also, bowl season is heating up on Friday with games such as Georgia Tech vs. Vanderbilt and Oklahoma vs. Navy. We had to check the schedule to make sure that these games were legitimate. They are. We’ve got picks, too, for BYU-Colorado and Iowa-Missouri. Join us.
