Alamo Bowl champion The 2000 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska–Lincoln as a member of the North Division of the Big 12 Conference during the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by third-year head coach Frank Solich, the Cornhuskers compiled an overall record of 10–2 with a mark of 6–2 in conference play, sharing the Big 12's North Division with Kansas State. By virtue of a head-to-head loss to the Wildcats, Nebraska was left out of the Big 12 Championship Game. The Cornhuskers were invited to the Alamo Bowl, where they defeated Northwestern. The team played home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Cornhusker's 2000 Red-White spring game featured Nebraska's first (and currently only) female player: KaLena "Beanie" Barnes, a senior sprinter for Nebraska's women's track-and-field teams, played in spring practice as a punter and recorded one 35-yard punt. She did not stay with the team for the regular season.
