The 1933 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team was the representative of the University of Nebraska in the 1933 college football season. The team was coached by Dana X. Bible and played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Nebraska was coming off of yet another very successful season, coach Bible having won his third league championship in four years, and the program had taken four of the last five conference titles. The Cornhuskers were on a roll and were beginning to look unstoppable at any time in the foreseeable future.
Nebraska entirely smashed the Texas Longhorns as these teams met for the first time, delivering a sound shutout defeat that left no doubt as to Nebraska's aspirations for the 1933 season. Not once during the previous 7-1-1 season was coach Bible able to play everyone on the roster, but against Texas on this day the backups began to cycle onto the field in the third quarter. The Cornhuskers outgained the Longhorns 320 to 85, and Texas never got closer than the Nebraska 30-yard line.
If the Texas game had been a statement during the previous week, coach Bible's team apparently felt like it needed to be said again, and louder. The Cornhuskers opened the 1933 conference slate by entirely smashing the Cyclones in Ames, in their second consecutive shutout victory. This time, Nebraska outyarded Iowa State 444 to 22, allowing the Cyclones a single first down through the entire game as once again all players on the Cornhusker roster found playing time. Iowa State's futility against Nebraska all time now reached 4-23-1.
Nebraska, after rolling over the opposition in the first two games, delivered yet another shutout victory in a contest that was not quite the cakewalk as seen so far this season. Both teams got nowhere in the first half, trading punts and turnovers. Kansas State finally made a serious go at scoring shortly after the half, drawing up to Nebraska's 15-yard line before the Cornhusker defense overpowered their efforts and pushed them backwards 18 yards to deny them a score before taking back possession. Shortly afterward, the Nebraska squad found the end zone, but missed the point after, to go up 6-0. The game still hung in the balance, as a single Wildcat touchdown could win the game if the kick after was good. With less than a minute remaining, Nebraska finally sealed the outcome with a field goal to remain undefeated in conference play. The record of Nebraska domination over Kansas State was further extended, to 16-1-1.
