The Cornhuskers won the MVC championship, the school's first since 1907. After the season, the conference adopted a new rule prohibiting "special coaching" and requiring that athletic coaches be full-time faculty members.[2] Unwilling to commit to a year-round position, Cole resigned and moved to his farm in Missoula, Montana. His final game at Nebraska was a record-setting 119â0 win over Haskell.[3]

In Cole's final game as head coach, Nebraska set several program records in a 119â0 blowout of Haskell. Among the marks that still stand are points scored, margin of victory, and yards of offense (1,150). The Indians managed only 67 yards in their 17 total plays in the game.
