Before the season
Coach Bible began his third season at Nebraska with two conference titles to his credit, as Nebraska held two of the three titles awarded since the Big 6 Conference came into being after evolving from the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association 1929, and three of the last four conference titles overall. Assistant coaches Day and Lehman did not return for 1932, but former head coach and later assistant coach for the linemen, Henry Schulte, who had never left the university while coaching for other sports, returned to the football staff by taking up his old position as lineman coach. Two new assistants also came aboard to assist with the freshman team. Nebraska's domination of the Big 6 made them favorites to win the title again in 1932.
After the season
Nebraska's domination of the Big 6 continued, as the Cornhuskers now owned four of the five Big 6 championships since the league's reformation. Coach Bible's teams were well-established as a force to be feared nationwide, and his Nebraska career record improved to 23-7-6 (.722). The Nebraska program enjoyed yet another improvement in the overall record, moving to 243-81-26 (.731), while the conference record was now up to a dominating 69-10-8 (.839).
