And we have generally been awful executing in clutch situations in those one score games.
That is interesting by decades. Not surprising, but interesting.
A lot of people warned of parity coming to the college game back in the 80's & 90's but I sure didn't see a corresponding drop in Husker relevance for so long. We're long overdue to start winning more of these one score games.

Yikes. That's one of the most painful graphs I've ever seen in my life. If I were A. Martinez I think I'd sue you.

How pathetic. Even worse than I remember when you see it table format. It's no wonder I get a sinking feeling when we enter Q4 with anything less than a 3 score lead.

I might be wrong about this, but not only do I think we haven't scored in OT since 2014, I don't think we've even gotten a first down in overtime in 11 years.

Lol….entering Q4 with a 3 score lead. How many times has that happened in the last 15-20 years? That’s a whole lotta sinking feeling. Oh, wait, you might be on to something.
Great list, but wants me to kick my dog (JK)....That is just some straight up gut punch kind of stats. I truly think that it is mathematically impossible to get some same results in any other 50/50 proposition besides NU football. BUT, I know every time a play goes sidewise, I wait for the other shoe to drop and the wheels fall off. It's happened so many (too many) times. Has a traditional Blue Blood every had this long of a drought with such little success?
Per ChatGPT when asked the percentage to get heads 3 times out of 32 flips this was the answer...
This is a very rare outcome—roughly 1 in 866,000 chances or .0001154% And yet here we are. I realize this is final drive, not total games, but damn.
Total 1 score games since 2021 we are 4-21 or a 1 in 350 chance that would actually happen.....
How does Rhule fix that? How could anyone?

You can't compare Scott Frost to a coin flip my friend. He is a much higher percentage bet to do something stupid and lose than 50/50.
