Nebraska Cornhuskers football

The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, representing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, competes in the Big Ten Conference and has played at Memorial Stadium since 1923, boasting an incredible sellout streak since 1962. As one of college football's most storied programs, they rank eighth in all-time FBS victories, have won 46 conference championships, and claim five national titles (1970, 1971, 1994, 1995, 1997), with their 1971 and 1995 squads often cited among the greatest ever—and they have produced Heisman winners like Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier, and Eric Crouch. The program's early dominance included a 34-game unbeaten streak in the 1900s, but it was Bob Devaney, hired in 1962, who built them into a national power, winning two titles before handing the reins to Tom Osborne in 1973. Osborne, a College Football Hall of Famer, never won fewer than nine games in his 25-year tenure, revolutionizing the sport with his I-formation offense and strength programs. After Osborne's retirement in 1997, the team cycled through several coaches before hiring Matt Rhule in 2023 to restore the program's glory.
