1919 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team

American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1919 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska in the 1919 college football season. The team was coached by first-year head coach Henry Schulte and played its home games at Nebraska Field in Lincoln, Nebraska. The team competed as an independent, departing the Missouri Valley Conference after thirteen seasons.[1] Schulte became the twelfth official head coach in the program's twenty-nine years of competition; his first team faced a daunting schedule consisting of Iowa, Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Syracuse as Nebraska's athletic department sought to schedule high-profile matchups.[2]
