The 2024 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, led by second-year head coach Matt Rhule, represented the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the Big Ten Conference, playing their home games at Memorial Stadium. This season marked a dramatic turnaround for the program, as the team ended a postseason drought dating back to 2016—the longest active streak among power conference schools—by becoming bowl eligible after a victory over rival Wisconsin, their first win against the Badgers since 2012. Along the way, the Cornhuskers achieved their first AP Poll ranking since 2019 and their first 3–0 start since 2016, signaling a resurgence under Coach Rhule. They concluded their season by facing Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl, capping off a year that restored hope and competitive relevance to the Nebraska football program.
