Following the season, Guy Chamberlin was named the first All-American in Nebraska history.

Stiehm, who had won the MVC in each of his five seasons at Nebraska and also coached the school's basketball team,[2] was offered $4,500 annually to take over Indiana's athletic department.

Despite suggesting he'd remain at Nebraska for less money, the school refused to offer him a raise and Stiehm exited with the highest winning percentage of any coach in school history.

Written accounts of this game compare with NU's 7-0 victory over Minnesota in 1913 and 6–6 tie against Michigan in 1911.

Nebraska trailed 13–7 at halftime but a pair of late touchdowns gave the Cornhuskers a one-point win.
