In the first bowl game for the program since 2016, Nebraska football has the lead at halftime.
The Huskers are up 13-2 at the break at Yankee Stadium on the Boston College Eagles. This is the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
Harlem native Rahmir Johnson got the Big Red on the board with a four-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. Kwinten Ives, led by defensive lineman Ty Robinson in at fullback, extended the lead with a two-yard score late in the second quarter.
But Boston College has threatened. The Eagles blocked the extra point on the second touchdown and returned it to the house for two points. They’ve also been inside the Nebraska 35 on all four possessions, settling for a missed field goal and a trio of turnovers on downs.
BC’s offense has put up 197 yards, including 157 through the air on 13-of-20 passing from Grayson James.
Nebraska’s offense has produced 189 yards, with 132 coming through the air from quarterback Dylan Raiola. The Huskers have also given the ball away twice via an interception and a fumble. The Blackshirts have five tackles for loss, including a pair of sacks from Ty Robinson and Vincent Shavers.
Boston College will have the ball to begin the second half.
