Before the season
Nebraska once again had a change at the top, welcoming Illinois assistant, and Robert Zuppke protégé, Ernest Bearg as the program's 17th head coach. Bearg would start the season by coaching his new team against the very squad he had helped coach before coming to Lincoln.
After the season
Coach Bearg finished his first season no worse than his predecessor's last season, but had won impressive victories against Notre Dame and Illinois in the process, and also shepherded the Cornhuskers through the program's 200th win. His first year record was 4-2-2 (.625), causing a slight drop in the program's overall record, to 201-69-19 (.728), while the conference record to date slipped to 40-6-5 (.833).
