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.
