"There is a fear sweeping the vast plains of Nebraska. From the sand hills to the Missouri River, it has frightened Cornhuskers far and wide.
No college football team had a longer sustained period of excellence than Nebraska. There have been no losing seasons, no major season failures and continued excellence in the top echelon of college football since 1961.
The Cornhuskers have 41 consecutive winning regular seasons(record). They played in 34 consecutive bowl games(record). In the last 10 years, Nebraska played in the national championship game five times and has lost just three home games. Until last September, the Huskers had been rated in the top 25 for 348 consecutive weeks(record). Since 1969, Nebraska has won at least nine games 33 times. In the last 40 years, there have been 33 first time All-American players for the Huskers. The Cornhuskers were the model of consistency. "
