The 1916 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska in the 1916 college football season. The team was coached by first-year head coach E. J. Stewart and played its home games at Nebraska Field in Lincoln, Nebraska. They competed as members of the Missouri Valley Conference. Nebraska's loss to Kansas in November ended NU's 34-game unbeaten streak.[1] Stewart, hired to replace the outgoing Ewald O. Stiehm, also served as Nebraska's basketball coach and athletic director.
