The 2015 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represents the University of Nebraska in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team is coached by first year head coach Mike Riley and plays their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. They are 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 season. Nebraska still qualified for a bowl game, one of three teams to do so with a 5–7 record. This was due to the lack of 6 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.[1] 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.
