120 played seasons from 1889 through 2026. Nebraska’s 2026 fact book (pages 30–31), hosted by HuskerMax, supplies historical rows; the official 2026 schedule supplies the latest 43–17 record. No teams in 1894–1896, 1903, 1911, 1913–1918, 1926–1928, 1932 or 1943–1945; these years are omitted, not 0–0. Annual rows through 2025 sum to 2,397–1,752–18, while the book prints 2,398–1,753–18; this archive preserves the rows and discloses the discrepancy. Some coaches are not catalogued. Individual records and championship history await research. Missing values do not indicate zero. Records are a sourced snapshot, not a live feed.
