History

Iowa State and Nebraska first met on November 19, 1896, a 12–4 NU victory in Lincoln. Separated by 225 miles, the schools were members of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (later the Big Eight Conference) from 1908 to 1995 and the Big 12 Conference from 1996 to 2010.^[5] ISU and NU met every year from 1926 to 2010, and played the final game at Clyde Williams Field in 1974.^[6]

Nebraska dominated the rivalry, winning 86 of 105 meetings with four separate win streaks of more than ten games.^[7] Iowa State tied or defeated Nebraska teams ranked in the national top ten four times, including a 19–10 victory in 1992 that was the only game Tom Osborne ever lost to a team that finished with more losses than wins.^[8]

The annual series ended when Nebraska joined the Big Ten Conference in 2011.^[9] The teams have not played since, and no future games are scheduled.
