Nebraska (8-4) will travel to Jacksonville, FL to meet the Clemson Tigers (7-5) on Jan. 1.

“It is all but certain that Nebraska will be playing in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl,” Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe said. “Formal Big 12 procedures prevent the conference from making an official announcement until Sunday afternoon. We are aware that fans from all of our schools, including Nebraska, want to begin making plans to attend these contests.”

Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne encouraged Nebraska fans to purchase tickets from the school’s allotment of 12,750 tickets for the Gator Bowl.

“The seats the Gator Bowl has set aside for the participating schools are in excellent locations, and we want our fans to get a chance to purchase those tickets as soon as possible,” Osborne said.
