Iowa was awarded a MNC, after the 1958 season by the Football Writers Association of America. Iowa received the Grantland Rice Trophy for the work of coach Forest Evashevski's team performed on the field that season.Nebraska has won four Grantland Rice Trophies over the years, for the work Bob Devaney (1970, 1971) teams and Dr. Tom Osborne (1994, 1995) teams performed.
The modern era of College Football began in 1954. The 50 years of College Football, a Modern History of America's Most Colorful Sport was written, beginning with the 1953 season.
The BCS era brought the end of the Big 8 Conference, including the Nebraska-Oklahoma rivalry. In many ways, it ended the Nebraska dominance in football. The fate of Nebraska coach Bo Pelini has been debated endless by many in the media and Cornhusker fan-base. The reality is Nebraska hasn't won a conference title, since 1999.
The 1992 season brought the Bowl Coalition, which didn't have much impact on Nebraska. By the 1995 season, the Bowl Coalition had become the Bowl Alliance.
