College football game
The 2015 Foster Farms Bowl was an American college football bowl game that was played on December 26, 2015, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California . It was one of the 2015–16 bowl games that concluded the 2015 FBS football season . The 14th edition of the Foster Farms Bowl (previously known as the Fight Hunger Bowl) featured the UCLA Bruins from the Pac-12 Conference against the Nebraska Cornhuskers from the Big Ten Conference . Since there were not enough bowl-eligible teams at the end of the regular season, 5–7 Nebraska was given a spot in this bowl because of its high Academic Progress Rate . Underdog Nebraska was victorious, winning the game 37–29.
The game represented the 13th overall meeting between these two teams, but was the first of those meetings to occur in a bowl game. After this game, Nebraska leads the all-time series 7–6.
The Bruins were led by freshman quarterback Josh Rosen , who had completed 266 passes for an average of 279.2 yards per game. The team led the Pac-12 conference in sacks against (1.17 per game), pass defense efficiency (111.5), and pass defense (205.7 yards per game).
