2015 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team

American college football season February 2026 June 2025 football 2015 Nebraska Cornhuskers Nebraska Cornhuskers logo.svg 100 Logo of the Nebraska athletic teams 2004– Big Ten Conference West Division Big Ten 6–7 3–5 Mike Riley 1st Danny Langsdorf 1st Mark Banker 1st Multiple 4–3 Memorial Stadium Foster Farms Bowl champion Foster Farms Bowl W 37–29 vs. UCLA The 2015 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was coached by first-year head coach Mike Riley and played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. They were members of the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska struggled with many close losses in the 2015 season and finished the regular season with a 5–7 overall record, but was able to hand a playoff-bound and Big Ten champion Michigan State team their only loss of the regular season. Nebraska still qualified for a bowl game, one of three teams to do so with a 5–7 record (the others being in-conference rival Minnesota and San Jose State). This was due to the lack of six-wins teams to fill the 80 bowl slots in the FBS and because of their APR score in relation to other FBS teams that also had a 5–7 record.Christopherson Brian December 6, 2015 Huskers to face UCLA in Foster Farms Bowl http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/2015/huskers-to-face-ucla-in-foster-farms-bowl/article_67282e64-9c5a-11e5-acf7-af070920cd53.html December 6, 2015 Lincoln Journal Star The Huskers took on the UCLA Bruins in the Foster Farms Bowl in Santa Clara, California and won 37–29 to end the season with a 6–7 record.
