Before the season
Nebraska had secured both league titles since the MVIAA had evolved into the Big 6, once under departing coach Bearg and then again under new coach Bible even while adapting to a new playing style. With coach Bible's system now in place, expectations were high to continue holding sole ownership of the Big 6 championship in 1930.
After the season
After taking the league title in his first season, coach Bible's 1930 squad took a harsh turn for the worse, ending the season with a painful 4-3-2 (.556) record, the worst since the abbreviated and stunted 1918 season, and the post-war, post-pandemic recovery season of the following year. Still, overall it was a winning season, though it brought coach Bible's career record down to 8-4-5 (.618). The program's overall record fell to 228-78-25 (.727) while Nebraska's Big 6 record fell severely, to 59-10-8 (.818). Even though all records took a significant hit relative to Nebraska's typical performance, the Cornhuskers clearly still held winning percentages well above average and envied by programs nationwide.
