Before the season
Coach Bible became the longest Nebraska head football coach in program history to date when he began his seventh season with the Cornhuskers. The 1934 squad had been made almost entirely of new starters who proved themselves by dropping only three games, two of which were to the teams that would end the season nationally ranked #1 and #2, and finishing second in the Big 6. Almost all of them were back, experienced, and ready to try to put Nebraska back on top.
After the season
Coach Bible brought home another Big 6 championship to add to his sizable collection, Nebraska's sixth over the last eight seasons. The United Press International released their first-ever end-of-season national poll, for just this year, which showed the Cornhuskers finishing at #21. Coach Bible's career record at Nebraska improved to 43-13-7 (.738), and he brought the Cornhusker program total to 263-87-27 (.733) while advancing the league record to what had become a commanding dominance of 82-11-9 (.848).
