The 1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team was the representative of the University of Nebraska in the 1932 college football season. The team was coached by Dana X. Bible and played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Coach Bible began his third season at Nebraska with two conference titles to his credit, as Nebraska held two of the three titles awarded since the Big 6 Conference came into being after evolving from the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association 1929, and three of the last four conference titles overall. Assistant coaches Day and Lehman did not return for 1932, but former head coach and later assistant coach for the linemen, Henry Schulte, who had never left the university while coaching for other sports, returned to the football staff by taking up his old position as lineman coach. Two new assistants also came aboard to assist with the freshman team. Nebraska's domination of the Big 6 made them favorites to win the title again in 1932.
1932 opened with a choppy performance, where the game was won through individual performances, and not lost despite the lack of effective teamwork. Iowa State figured out how to deal with the Nebraska line by the end of the third quarter, but could not score a second touchdown to draw even before time expired. The Cyclones fell to 4-22-1 against the Cornhuskers all-time.
Reviving an old and storied series with the powerhouse Minnesota team, a battle last fought in 1913, the Cornhuskers struck first and early, using the wind to their advantage in the passing game. The wind subsequently turned against Nebraska when the point after went wide. In the second quarter, the Golden Gophers powered in their own score, and their point after was good. That one point ultimately decided the game, as both teams managed to fight each other to a defensive, scoreless tie in the second half. According to the university's yearbook, some media representatives considered Nebraska the winner of the game, if not the scoreboard. Officially, however, the result placed another "L" in the record against Nebraska, which moved the Cornhuskers to 2-11-2 against the Golden Gophers since the series began in 1900, farther away from their hopes of some day catching up with Minnesota.
