Between 19, Nebraska had five undefeated seasons and completed a stretch of thirty-four consecutive games without a loss, still a program record. The program's first extended period of success came just after the turn of the century.

Notable among these are players Bob Brown, Guy Chamberlin, Tommie Frazier, Rich Glover, Dave Rimington, and Will Shields, and coaches Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. Famous Cornhuskers include Heisman Trophy winners Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier, and Eric Crouch, who join twenty-two other Cornhuskers in the College Football Hall of Fame. NU's 19 title-winning teams are considered among the best in college football history. Nebraska claims forty-six conference championships and five national championships ( 1970, 1971, 1994, 1995, and 1997), and has won six other national championships the school does not claim.

Nebraska is among the most storied programs in college football history and has the eighth-most all-time victories among FBS teams. Nebraska plays its home games at Memorial Stadium, where it has sold out every game since 1962. The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team competes as part of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, representing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the West Division of the Big Ten.
