Yes. They also won or shared the title in '71, '94, '95, and '97. (From the first game of the '93 season to the last game of the '97 season they went 60 and 3. I'd say Tom Osborne finished out pretty strong.)

What were the Nebraska Cornhuskers originally known as?
The nickname "Cornhuskers" was first applied to Nebraska athletic teams at the turn of the century by sports writer Charles "Cy" Sherman of the Nebraska State Journal.

Of course, today it is commonly shortened as "Huskers."
How did the Cornhuskers get their mame?
Lincoln sportswriter Charles S. (Cy) Sherman provided the nickname. Sherman tired of referring to the Nebraska teams with such an unglamorous term as Bugeaters. Iowa had, from time to time, been called the Cornhuskers, and the name appealed to Sherman. Iowa partisans seemed to prefer Hawkeyes, so Sherman started referring to the Nebraska team as Cornhuskers, and the 1900 team was first to bear that label.
