Nebraska projected starting lineup and depth chart for Pinstripe Bowl | 2024-25 College football season

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will take on the Boston College Eagles in the 2024 Pinstripe Bowl, which will take place at noon ET on Saturday at Yankee Stadium. The Cornhuskers (6-6) lost momentum midway into the season, wrapping their year with five losses in their final six games. On the other hand, the Eagles ended theirs with a 7-5 record.

The Huskers will rely on freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, who completed 66% of his throws for 2,595 passing yards with 12 touchdowns. His chemistry with receiver Jahmal Banks (40 catches for a team-high 508 yards and three touchdowns) should dictate the game.

Let's take a look at Nebraska's projected starting lineup and depth chart for the Pinstripe Bowl.
