1914 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team The 1914 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team was the representative of the University of Nebraska in the 1914 college football season . The team was coached by Ewald O . Stiehm and played their home games at Nebraska Field in Lincoln , Nebraska . Before the season . Coach Stiehm began his fourth year , bringing with him an impressive three straight conference titles and only two game losses ( both to Minnesota ) in his three years at the helm . Several key starters from 1913 appeared again on the 17 - man roster . Game notes . Washburn . The Ichabods of Washburn were not so easily pushed out of the way this year , scoring a touchdown against Nebraska for the first time , but the Cornhuskers still seemingly had little trouble winning the opener and staying perfect in the series at 2 - 0 . South Dakota . After a three - year break , South Dakota arrived in Lincoln to resume their series with Nebraska . Several South Dakota players allegedly had taken advantage of a loophole in the rules that allowed them , with the aid of relocating themselves geographically out of South Dakota for a period of time in the offseason , to return to play for the Coyotes for six or seven seasons . In this way , South Dakota hoped to find success through fielding over - experienced players . As such , few Nebraska players had been up against the Coyotes before , while several of the South Dakota players had faced the Cornhuskers four years prior . Despite the hijinks , Nebraska still held the Coyotes off the scoreboard for the entire game , though they themselves were also unable to score . Nebraska still held a comfortable lead in the series , at 5 - 1 - 2 . Kansas State . The Kansas State Aggies tasted defeat for the 4th time in a row as Nebraska remained unbeaten in the series , handling Kansas State in a game that was never really in doubt . MAC . Michigan Agricultural College , the school which would one day be known as Michigan State , faced Nebraska for the first time ever . Any fears about the outcome against an unknown team were put to rest as Nebraska had little trouble securing the game . The Aggies came within a few inches of scoring at one point , but the Cornhusker defense remained stout and sent MAC home with no points to show for their efforts . Iowa State . Iowa came out strong and jumped to a 7 - point lead to open the scoring , but could not keep up with the superior Nebraska squad , giving up 20 unanswered points before being sent home with another loss and falling farther behind in the series to 10 - 3 - 1 . Morningside . Nebraska hosted the football squad from Morningside College out of Sioux City , Iowa , for the first and only time these teams would meet . Few squads facing the Cornhuskers as practice fodder for single one - off games are able to lay claim to scoring against Nebraska , but a lucky play at the end of the game , when Nebraska was backing off the pressure with the backups on the field , allowed the visitors to avoid the shutout . Kansas . Any hopes Kansas may have harbored to end their 4 - game losing streak were short - lived , as Nebraska punched in the first points just five minutes into the game . The contest was never in doubt afterwards as the Jayhawks folded and went home scoreless , the series beginning to stack up against them at 8 - 13 . Iowa . Having renewed the season - ending annual match with Iowa , Nebraska arrived in Iowa City and made relatively short work of the Haweyes to close out the season , though Iowa did more to resist Nebraska ' s scoring than anyone else on the schedule that year save the first two teams . The Cornhuskers improved over Iowa to 9 - 4 - 3 . After the season . Having come into the program with a conference title in place prior to his arrival , and finishing the prior season with his 3rd straight conference title for four in a row - already unprecedented in Nebraska ' s program history - coach Stiehm recorded even greater success by locking in Nebraska ' s 5th consecutive conference championship , a feat that would not be repeated by the Cornhuskers for 70 years . Coach Stiehm ' s Nebraska career record improved yet again , to 27 - 2 - 3 ( . 891 ) , already into program record territory still unbeaten today . The Nebraska football program ' s overall record improved to 145 - 47 - 11 ( . 741 ) , while the conference record improved to 15 - 2 - 2 ( . 842 ) .
