Teams

Nebraska Cornhuskers

The Nebraska Cornhusker football team was 8–1 going into the Rose Bowl and was ranked seventh in the nation with their one loss of the season to top-ranked Minnesota. After the announcement of the Rose Bowl acceptance, the celebration that followed lasted for 24 hours in Lincoln, according to newspaper reports. University classes were canceled, and students stormed the state capitol, demanding that the governor lead the singing of the school song, "There Is No Place Like Nebraska." The team had two All-Americans: Warren Alfson and Forrest Behm and was led by coach Biff Jones.
