The Nebraska Win

I've been looking around the College Football Database at Nebraska's losses... A friend over in the Geology Department asked me, "How many non-BCS teams have won at Nebraska?" and I said I would find out. Here's what I learned.... Since Nebraska began playing football in 1890, only 12 teams not currently in the B.C.S. (members of the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big XII, Pac 10, SEC, and Notre Dame) have won at Nebraska. Two of them were military teams during the World Wars. The last one before us was Air Force, 41 years prior. Only five teams have done it in Memorial Stadium. Here's the list:

1894	Doane
1896	Butte AC
1898	Drake
1899	Grinnell
1908	Carlisle Indian School
1909	Haskell Institute
1918	Camp Dodge (WWI Team)
1923: Memorial Stadium Built
1942	Iowa Navy Pre-Flight (WWII Team)
1951	TCU
1955	Hawaii
1963	Air Force
2004	Southern Mississippi

Furthermore, only 20 different schools (in a total of 27 games) that are currently not in the B.C.S. have beat Nebraska ANYWHERE, whether home, away, or at a bowl game. Again, two of these are military teams during the wars, and Houston was a member of the SWC in '79, and as conference champion went to the Cotton Bowl, which is sort of like a B.C.S. conference for the time. As well, TCU was a member of the SWC in 1955. Here's that list:

1891	@ Doane
1892	@ Denver AC
1894	vs. Doane
1895	@ Butte AC
	@ Grinnell
1896	vs. Butte AC
1898	vs. Drake
	@ Kansas City Medical
1899	vs. Grinnell
	@ Kansas City Medical
	@ South Dakota
1904	@ Haskell Institute
1906	@ Chicago
1907	@ St. Louis University
1908	vs. Carlisle Indian School
1909	vs. Haskell Institute
1918	vs. Camp Dodge (WWI Team)
	@ Washington University in St. Louis
1925	@ Drake
1928	@ Army
1942	vs. Iowa Navy Pre-Flight (WWII Team)
1951	vs. TCU
1955	vs. Hawaii
1957	@ Army
1963	vs. Air Force
1979	Houston (Cotton Bowl)
2004	vs. Southern Mississippi

Any way you look at it, our win against Nebraska is a rare occurance.
