UCLA finished 8-4 with much higher hopes than playing in this Bowl game which is in their backyard. Most teams get excited to travel to a new area in a Bowl game. Nebraska is excited to be here since they finished with only 5 wins this season. They are a young team who gets an extra month of practices. Coach Riley is a good coach who has his team excited and their fans travel well. Nebraska has taken their share of knocks this season as they transition into the Riley era. But through all the struggles and strife, they managed to remain a dangerous opponent in a lot of tough spots, being competitive against the better teams they faced this season, while holding a win over a team that is now in the CFP. UCLA isn't the best candidate to cover a big number against a decent defensive front like Nebraska, who ended the season with a little better momentum. I'll take the points here tonight.
