Nebraska rolled to a win in the Pinstripe Bowl over Boston College, 20-15, at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Quarterback Dylan Raiola led Nebraska with 228 yards passing, completing 23 of 31 pass attempts; a touchdown and an interception.

The Cornhuskers had a balanced rushing attack, as Emmett Johnson ran for 68 yards, and Rahmir Johnson had 60. Emmett also had 28 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Nebraska got on the board first when they had a 15-play, 75-yard, six minute and 32 seconds, drive capped by a 4-yard touchdown run from R. Johnson at 14:56 of the second quarter that made it 7-0.

Then, later in the frame, they had a seven-play, 67-yard drive that went just 2:46 called by a two-yard touchdown run by Kwinten Ives.

Then, Boston College blocked the extra point, and Ashton McShane ran it back 87 yards for a two-point score, so the result of that sequence was Nebraska up 13-2. 

Nebraska pulled away in the third quarter when Raiola going E. Johnson with a 13-yard touchdown pass at the 3:02 mark to make it 20-2. That capped a seven-play, 50-yard drive that took just three minutes and 12 seconds.
