UCLA was the team that was one win away from a conference championship game appearance, and Nebraska was one of the three seven-loss squads that were given a bowl game invite.
When the two teams met in Levi's Stadium for the Foster Farms Bowl, it was the Cornhuskers who looked like the better team. Mike Riley used his bullying running game and an opportunistic defense to stun Jim Mora and the Bruins in a 37-29 upset.
UCLA was up big, 21-7, midway through the second quarter, but Nebraska ripped off 30 unanswered points to surge ahead and gain a lead it would never surrender.
