The team was coached by Bo Pelini and played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Cornhuskers finished with 10–4 overall, 7–1 Legends, to become Big Ten Legends Division champions. In the postseason, the team was invited to the 2012 Big Ten Football Championship Game. It was their fourth division title in the last five years but the first since joining the Big Ten. They lost to Wisconsin (placed in the game due to sanctions on two other schools) and they lost to Georgia in the 2013 Capital One Bowl weeks later. The Cornhuskers became known for their comebacks this year, as they came back after trailing by double digits during four conference games. These wins included a 30–27 victory over Wisconsin (Nebraska down 27–10 early in 3rd quarter), Northwestern (down 28–16 with 5 minutes to go), Michigan State (down 24–14 early in 4th quarter), and Penn State (down 20–6 at halftime). This is also the most recent season in which the Cornhuskers have won double-digit games. No spring scrimmage game was played prior to the season, as it was canceled due to weather concerns and player conflicts.http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/weather-huskers-spring-game-canceled/article_912b8b35-6303-51bd-90b8-da5cb15c1b86.html Weather 1, Huskers 0: Spring game canceled It was the first year that Nebraska did not hold a spring scrimmage since they started playing them in 1950.
