1915 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team
Introduction The '''1915 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team''' represented the University of Nebraska in the 1915 college football season. The team was coached by fifth-year head coach Ewald O. Stiehm and played its home games at Nebraska Field in Lincoln, Nebraska. They competed as members of the Missouri Valley Conference. The 1915 season was part of Nebraska's 34-game unbeaten streak that ran from 1912 to 1916.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, 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.
