Why Nebraska can cover
Nebraska was able to get back on track and secure its first bowl bid since 2016 with a 44-25 win over Wisconsin last week, despite closing as just a 1.5-point favorite. Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola completed 28 of 38 passes for 293 yards and a touchdown, connecting with freshman wide receiver Jacory Barney Jr. nine times for 85 yards. Sophomore running back Dante Dowdell was efficient, turning 10 carries into 41 yards and three touchdowns.
Sophomore running back Emmett Johnson had 113 rushing yards, averaging 7.1 yards per carry.
