Knox

Nebraska defeated Knox 16–0 in what was described as "another early season walk through warm up game."

At Michigan

Nebraska met Michigan for the first time in 1905, the final season Michigan played at Regents Field. The Wolverines were led by Fielding H. Yost, marking the first time NU had played one of its past head coaches. Michigan pulled away after a scoreless first half to win 31–0.
