It turns out that Nebraska football won't have to suffer through a return visit to the Pinstripe Bowl after a 7-5 finish to the regular season. Some bowl projections had the Huskers returning to the game at Yankee Stadium after beating Boston College in that game last winter.
Among the other candidates for NU's possible bowl destination was Nashville, Tennessee, for the Music City Bowl and Las Vegas for the aptly named Las Vegas Bowl. It was the Music City Bowl that most fans were holding out hope for, believing Illinois would get the invite to Sin City.
