The Cougars, led by 11th-year head coach Bronco Mendenhall, played their home games at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

The following Cougars graduated, transferred, or chose to serve two-year church missions after the 2013 season and didn't return to the team in 2015.

BYU entered Lincoln as 6-point underdogs, with Bronco Mendenhall taking back defensive play-calling responsibilities, and with Taysom Hill looking to prove last years Heisman talk wasn't outside the box.

On the way they lost 3 defensive starters to injury, including nose tackle Travis Tuiloma 4–6 weeks.

Freshman QB Tanner Mangum came in on BYU's next possession for 2 plays: a 9-yard run and a 9-yard pass, before Hill returned.

The Cougars drove the rest of the field before Hill found Mitch Mathews for the first of his 2 receiving touchdowns.

After missing 12-of-15 passes in the 2nd quarter Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong, Jr. once again shredded the BYU D for more than 100 yards receiving in the 3rd.

Mathews came all the way across the field and caught the 42-yard pass for the touchdown, ending Nebraska's 29-year home opener winning streak.

While Mangum entered the halls of Cougar lore with the touchdown pass, the news wasn't so good for BYU after the game.
