Breaking News :Remembering the 2010 Nebraska Cornhuskers….
The 2010 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team remains one of the most memorable squads in program history. In what would be their final season in the Big 12 Conference before transitioning to the Big Ten, the Huskers, led by head coach Bo Pelini, posted a 10-4 record and captivated fans with a tough defense and explosive playmaking.
At the center of it all was freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez, who burst onto the scene with dynamic running ability, including a legendary performance against Kansas State. On the defensive side, All-American cornerback Prince Amukamara anchored a dominant Blackshirts unit that ranked among the nation’s best.
Despite high hopes, the season ended with heartbreak—a narrow loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Game and a disappointing Holiday Bowl defeat to Washington. Yet, the 2010 team symbolized grit, pride, and the end of an era. It marked Nebraska’s farewell to storied rivalries and set the stage for a new chapter in the Big Ten.
Fifteen years later, fans still look back at 2010 with a mix of nostalgia and “what ifs,” remembering the Huskers as a team that brought excitement, unity, and a final blaze of Big 12 glory.
