The Iowa State–Nebraska football rivalry, occasionally referred to as the Big Red Rivalry,[1] is an American college football rivalry game between the Iowa State Cyclones and Nebraska Cornhuskers.[2][3][4]

History

[edit]

Separated by 225 miles, the bordering state schools were members of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) from 1908 to 1927, the Big Eight Conference from 1928 to 1995 and the Big 12 Conference from 1996 to 2010.[5] The teams met on the football field every year uninterrupted from 1926 to 2010.[6] Nebraska has dominated the rivalry, winning 85 of the 105 matchups, but Iowa State has pulled some notable victories throughout the history of the series.[7] When Nebraska left the Big 12 in 2011 to join the Big Ten Conference,[8][9][10] the annual rivalry between Iowa State and Nebraska was put on hiatus, and no games between the Cyclones and Cornhuskers have been scheduled since. Concurrently, as of June 2025, there are no plans for the schools to meet on the football field.
