both world wars, once in the Army and then later in the Navy Reserve. Coach Clark was exactly the kind of leader that Nebraska hoped could bring the troubled football program back from their unprecedented four-year slide. Now that World War II was drawing to a close, servicemen were returning home in large numbers, returning to school, and once again bolstering the quality of players on team rosters nationwide. Even with the increased pool of players to choose from, coach Clark was more selective in his choices, and the 1945 Nebraska roster was reduced by twenty from that of the previous year.

touchdown. On Nebraska's next possession, however, the game was tied up soon enough at 6–6. The squads held each other off until after the half when Nebraska was stalled and readied for a field goal attempt. The kick was no good, but a Hawkeye offside penalty on the attempt handed Nebraska a first down, which the Cornhuskers ultimately converted into a touchdown, and Iowa never recovered from the shift in fortunes. Iowa's win streak against Nebraska was ended at three, and the Cornhuskers improved to 21–10–3 in the series.

still in reach. After the break, however, Nebraska collapsed completely under the onslaught of the Golden Gophers as a scoring explosion quickly pushed the game out of reach, with Minnesota scoring three times in each of the final two quarters. The 7–61 loss tied the worst margin of victory that the Cornhuskers had ever suffered, and set a new all-time record for most points scored against Nebraska in program history. The loss was the 5th in a row to Minnesota, as the Golden Gophers improved to 21–4–2 in the series.

Kansas in Lincoln since 1896. Today was payback day, and Nebraska ran up to a 14–0 lead against the favored Jayhawks by halftime. Kansas made some adjustments and stormed back to make it 13–14 and keep the game in doubt until the Cornhuskers punched in another two touchdowns to slam the door on Kansas and capture the first win of 1945. The satisfying homecoming win moved Nebraska to 39-10-3 against Kansas overall.

ray of hope taken away from the contest by Nebraska was that they had scored more points on Indiana than any other team so far in the season. Once upon a time, Nebraska had held the series lead at 3–0–2, but the Hoosiers had since run off five straight wins to take the series lead back, and dealt Nebraska their third consecutive year of three losses to open the season. Indiana would go on to finish the season as

Coach Clark's first year moved Nebraska to 309–127–31 (.695), which was the first time the program's winning percentage had slipped below .700 since 1902. The Big 6 record also slipped slightly, to 113–28–11 (.780). Coach Clark somewhat unexpectedly opted to depart Nebraska after his first year, to

After a thirteen-year break in the series, South Dakota and Nebraska met again, but the outcome was much the same as in the days of old. The Cornhusker starters scampered quickly out to a 21–0 lead after just one quarter, and then rested for the rest of the game. The Coyotes remained unable to hold

Kansas State fell again to Nebraska, as the Cornhuskers rallied to build on the encouraging defeat of the Kansas Jayhawks in the previous game. For the second time in a row, the Kansas State Wildcats were held off the scoreboard by Nebraska, and it appeared that the team was perhaps going to finally

as his own replacement in charge of the football program, and with him came a completely new staff of five assistants. George "Potsy" Clark's playing and coaching career stretched back to 1912, included both college and professional teams, and by the time he arrived at Nebraska he had also served in
1947:
In front of a larger Lincoln homecoming crowd than had been seen in recent years, Nebraska faced the Jayhawks with a serious chip on their shoulder after the heartbreaking loss to Kansas the previous year that had broken the unbeaten Cornhusker streak in the series at 27 and marked the first loss to
1717:
Iowa State was too much for Nebraska to hold off, failing to convert repeated trips inside the Cyclone 20 yard line into points. The only Cornhusker score was the result of a forced turnover returned for a touchdown, and the game's outcome set a new dubious record in the Nebraska program by marking
1619:
The Hoosiers were ranked #8 when Nebraska arrived, and it was a tall order to hope for victory against an Indiana team that had risen over the past several years to be a formidable powerhouse. The Cornhuskers were outplayed in almost every aspect of the game and fell by a 40-point margin. The one

Although Nebraska had set a new record of disappointment by losing the first five games in a row, the outcome of the campaign's contests told a tale of two seasons. Over the first five games, Nebraska was outscored an average of 6–36, but upon turning the corner they finished the final four games
1531:
Encouraged by the showing at Oklahoma, and welcoming the chance to play at home against rival Minnesota, Nebraska only fell behind 0–14 before bouncing back to pull within seven points by the break. The showing was much more impressive than last week's loss to the Sooners, as the game was clearly

The Huskers stumbled in their first game under coach Clark, and first game in Lincoln under his tenure. Different this time from previous years, however, was the competitive nature of the game. Oklahoma still kept the Cornhuskers off the board, but the defeat still provided a ray of hope that as
2247:
Iowa arrived in Lincoln fresh off of an upset 20–19 victory over Minnesota, the very team that scored more on Nebraska than any other team in Cornhusker history just seven weeks prior. It looked like it might be a long day for Nebraska when Iowa received the opening kickoff and returned it for a

Again facing a highly favored Missouri squad in Columbia, the Cornhuskers did their best to make a statement by holding the powerful Tigers to just nineteen points, with the final touchdown squeaking in with less than a minute to play. Any moral victory attained with their effort on this day was

back even the Nebraska reserves, and by the end of the game South Dakota was scoreless after allowing the Cornhuskers to amass 53 points. Though the Coyotes took a victory in the first ever meeting of these teams in 1899, they remained winless in all games since and fell to 1–9–2 in the series.
1718:
the first time the Cornhuskers had ever opened a season with four straight losses, showing that new head coach Clark still had his work cut out for him. Iowa State still had some distance to cover to catch Nebraska in their history, lagging 8–31–1 all time.
