They were ABSOLUTELY DOMINANT most of their existence until Tom Osborne retired in 1997. They still stayed on the main stage of CFB through Frank Solich's tenure, then Bill Callahan came through and the bottom fell out
Bo Pelini had them doing OK, averaging 9-10 wins a season and a good bowl game, but not as dominant as they were in the 90s. Then he got ousted from Lincoln for generally being a arrogant dikkhead and ruining relationships with the school, the media & the donors. Mike Riley came in from doing an OK job with Oregon State, and they fell off KINDA, with 6 & 9 wins coming his first 2 seasons & losing bowl games in both. Then this season, the entire team looked ASSSSSS
The offensive line got no push
The defense couldn't stop a nosebleed
The QB was throwing picks all over the place
The coaches had no clue what they were doing, the SC coach thought doing squats weren't important
bytch that's the base of developing power & explosionThey lost to Northern Illinois, Iowa and Northwestern, and let Arkansas State drop 400 passing yards on they asses
They fell off so bad
What's the issue? My 1st cousin/unofficial brother plays for them and the shyt he tells me is ghastly 
They got
-Rabid fanbase/amazing stadium, every game's been sold out 90,000 strong since 1962
-Good athletic facilities
-All the PAWGs these football players could want
-Decent uniforms
-Nebraska is a good school for academics
-LEGENDARY HISTORY
-Outside of Wisconsin the B1G West is uncompetitive as fukk
The next difficult team is fukkin Iowa 
There's no reason they shouldn't be in the championship game & AT THE LEAST average 9-11 wins a season
