The Huskers will be taking on the UCLA Bruins in the Foster Farms Bowl, which will be held on Saturday, December 26th, with a 8:15 Central kickoff. The game is held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Nebraska, even though they finished the regular season with a 5-7 record, will move on to a bowl game due to not only the Football Bowl Association not having enough qualifying teams (77 qualified, 80 spots) with 6 wins, but also having the highest Academic Progress Rate (APR) of those teams that do not qualify for bowls, which is the tie-breaking mechanism that the NCAA uses.
