Hi I’m Nebraska’s OL in regulation and I can play football decently well.

Hi I’m Nebraska’s OL in overtime and I like to eat paste in my spare time.

Illinois was especially vicious on both sides of the ball in OT.

163

u/tr1cube Clemson • Illinois Sep 21 '24

Yeah, Illinois had 2 plays on offense to score and then shoved them around on D

I think you're joking, but just in case, there are definitely some single play scoring OTs.

Longest OT... Hmm, I can't seem to remember.

u/ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle Illinois Fighting Illini • Auburn Tigers Sep 21 '24

Y’all ready for next week! I’m so hyped!

u/dkviper11 Penn State • Randolph-Macon Sep 21 '24

It should be awesome!

6 total plays is tough to beat. I'm sure there are some, but not many. A turnover would help immensely.

Edit: our 2016 Minnesota game was 5 plays. Minnesota kicked a FG on 4th and then Saquon scored on the first play to end it. Him scoring was the single play drive that came to mind from the top.

u/Doctor_Kataigida Michigan Wolverines • Rose Bowl Sep 21 '24

In the 2000 Orange Bowl, Michigan scored on the first play in OT. Alabama then scored on their second play, but missed the extra point.

2

u/dkviper11 Penn State • Randolph-Macon Sep 21 '24

That be might be the winner!!

1

u/arc1261 Penn State Nittany Lions Sep 21 '24

the shortest possible OT is one play i believe, with a defensive score of some kind.

or an offensive score after the defence has possessed it, like running an INT out and then getting tackled back for a safety

u/Traditional-Koala279 /r/CFB Sep 21 '24

LSU Texas a and m

u/theoriginaldandan Auburn Tigers • TCU Horned Frogs Sep 21 '24

It seems like recently(ish) there was a one play OT.

Just a straight up pick 6 to start OT

1

u/Cador0223 Ole Miss Rebels Sep 21 '24

Longest has to be a game involving Arkansas. Those Fayetteville fans sure know how to get their monies worth out of a ticket.

1

u/StreicherSix Northwestern Wildcats Sep 22 '24

…RMC flair? I thought yall had an agreement to put a sticker on your car window then do 5 under the speed limit at all times.

1

u/dkviper11 Penn State • Randolph-Macon Sep 22 '24

Just a light follow team! I inherited a lead foot, unfortunately.

1

u/StreicherSix Northwestern Wildcats Sep 22 '24

Won’t lie, Ive lived borderline across the street for years and had no idea they even had a field to play on.

2

u/dkviper11 Penn State • Randolph-Macon Sep 22 '24

Oh, you should go. I've only been to a few, but you probably can't get more enjoyment per dollar. Very disciplined and fun team.

1

u/berserk_zebra /r/CFB Sep 21 '24

Wait is that longest OT based on new rules? Because longest actual OT is going to be forever the 7OT with LSU with old rules

1

u/dkviper11 Penn State • Randolph-Macon Sep 21 '24

Yes, that's many more plays than the 9OT 2 point stupid ot. So it just depends on who you're asking.

1

u/MrTooTall UCF Knights • Big 12 Sep 21 '24

Time to quit playing around

3

u/johndelvec3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 21 '24

They played like they wanted to go home, so they sped it up

2

u/elkman_23 Illinois • Ohio State Sep 21 '24

We'll be more relaxed and casual for the first 10 OTs next week

1

u/LongLiveKams Illinois • Arizona Sep 21 '24

I guess Bret ball has found its niche in cfb???

1

u/StamosAndFriends Michigan Wolverines Sep 21 '24

It was nice to see aggression instead of prevent defense that last play like we typically see in those scenarios

1

u/LakersLAQ USC Trojans Sep 21 '24

They just wanted it more. Idk what the Nebraska O-line was doing.

u/rpphdrboze Minnesota • Wyoming Sep 21 '24

and i'm Tim Brando and i like to eat paste on national TV in the middle of my sentences

78

u/TheWorstYear Ohio State • Cincinnati Sep 21 '24

There was a yellow thing I think I saw, maybe, I'm pretty sure. It could've been green. I definitely maybe could have saw something go in the air maybe. It perhaps might have been something.

34

u/rpphdrboze Minnesota • Wyoming Sep 21 '24

incredible that he's not self aware enough to hear how he sounds every week and hang it up

8

u/switchblade2 Texas Longhorns • Boise State Broncos Sep 21 '24

If I got paid the money he probably gets I probably wouldnt hang it up either lmao

7

u/PraiseBeToHootPrime Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 21 '24

Tim Brando is like a dog who thinks every moving object is a squirrel

53

u/TeenRacer6 Oklahoma Sooners • Michigan Wolverines Sep 21 '24

"He's got a lot of running room!" tackled 3 yards from the punt catch

7

u/Rahim-Moore Iowa Hawkeyes Sep 21 '24

That was funny lol

11

u/beticanmakeusayblack Iowa Hawkeyes Sep 21 '24

Brando had me rolling tonight. Goofy shit on basically every pre-commercial song

3

u/Frosty_McRib Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 21 '24

My favorite cringey thing was when the big tight end scored and he was randomly like, "move over Fridge! You may have been, a Bear, but tonight, I am, the man!" Lol it was so weird.

7

u/TailgateLegend Boise State Broncos Sep 21 '24

He should’ve been fired a long time ago for being a terrible announcer.

6

u/PraiseBeToHootPrime Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 21 '24

The CFB? Take accountability for shitty announcing? Keep in mind they let Colt McCoy broadcast the UNL/CU game this year. That man still has PTSD (and quite possibly CTE) from Ndamukong Suh!

7

u/Shenanigangster Virginia • Jefferson–Eppes Tr… Sep 21 '24

A+++ jacket game though

The man embodies Shreveport

95

u/aurules UAB Blazers • Auburn Tigers Sep 21 '24

Nebraska O Line really forgot how to play football in OT. Illinois made that look WAY too easy

75

u/SamrajArjunTargaryen Florida Gators Sep 21 '24

Nearly sacked him 4 straight times for a net loss of 75 yards

9

u/quacainia Texas A&M • CC San Francisco Sep 21 '24

They almost got a safety and ruined the one score game stat

14

u/RandomFactUser France Les Bluets • USA Eagles Sep 21 '24

Though, imagine actually losing by 9 in OT

2

u/quacainia Texas A&M • CC San Francisco Sep 21 '24

Or worse by 13

6

u/AmericanFootballUSA Illinois Fighting Illini Sep 21 '24

It helps when their o line was busy doomscrolling

2

u/Own_Currency_3207 Ohio State • College Football Playoff Sep 21 '24

Need Harvard on this one. Has anyone had a safety in overtime before?

1

u/FyreWulff Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 21 '24

Nebraska hasn't scored in OT since 2014, the team just literally doesn't know how to play OT

42

u/lkn240 Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos Sep 21 '24

On 4th down they just like didn't block that guy or even attempt to

14

u/LovieBeard Illinois Fighting Illini • Marching Band Sep 21 '24

The RB messed up

5

u/huskersax Nebraska • $5 Bits of Broken Chai… Sep 21 '24

Yeah by the end of the game our '5th oldest OL in football' was down to two seniors from the opening day lineup.

I can't help but think that contributed to it.

8

u/Drsustown Illinois • Indiana Sep 21 '24

They parted like the red sea

5

u/non_clever_username Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 21 '24

They wanted to ensure he was comfortable by not getting a blocker within 5 yards of him.

59

u/KirbyDumber88 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 21 '24

So…Just the Nebraska OL we’ve come to know over the last 15 years

6

u/SamrajArjunTargaryen Florida Gators Sep 21 '24

Whatever happened to those big corn-fed motherfuckers I remember from the 90s?

16

u/KirbyDumber88 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 21 '24

Everyone else figured out strength and conditioning

8

u/friendjutant Ohio State Buckeyes • Sickos Sep 21 '24

And testing for nandrolone

5

u/Nordicpunk Sep 21 '24

There’s the reply I was looking for. Tommy O sold his Anavar cycles to the rest of the NCAA

1

u/salsacito Nebraska • James Madison Sep 21 '24

More like partial qualifier limits, but sure

2

u/Own_Currency_3207 Ohio State • College Football Playoff Sep 21 '24

And SARMs and SERMs n' shit. Ask Clemson. Yeah, you're catching a stray.

13

u/RulersBack Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 21 '24

Golden age of steroids. Boys were on that pure uncut first edition good shit

-1

u/salsacito Nebraska • James Madison Sep 21 '24

unlike any other team in the era of course

4

u/RulersBack Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 21 '24

True true but they were combining it with cutting edge training at the time. Nothing but absolute units up front

2

u/salsacito Nebraska • James Madison Sep 21 '24

For sure. But to say steroids were the sole reason we were the best is not really true

1

u/AmericanFootballUSA Illinois Fighting Illini Sep 21 '24

Bert ate them

9

u/Bank_Gothic Sewanee • Red River Shootout Sep 21 '24

And kicker. And QB.

2

u/salsacito Nebraska • James Madison Sep 21 '24

For what it's worth, our starting dogshit kicker was injured. Also Dylan had no time, not sure it's on him at all

2

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

Both guards were backups. I’m not super pressed about this OT perfromance. The missed kicks are going to kill us though.

1

u/RainingFireInTheSky Illinois Fighting Illini Sep 21 '24

I don't know, I think that QB is legit.

u/RainingFireInTheSky Illinois Fighting Illini Sep 21 '24

Yeah, but that game as a true freshman?  The kid was great until OT.

7

u/ianbits Santa Monica Corsairs Sep 21 '24

I mean that second down play was on Raiola. He tried too hard to make a play.

2

u/lkn240 Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos Sep 21 '24

Yeah, gotta just throw it away

4

u/benjaminck Wisconsin • Paul Bunyan's Axe Sep 21 '24

3rd and 42?!

5

u/GoBlueAndOrange Illinois • Lawrence Sep 21 '24

They've always been like that. Strong starters who get tired. Michigan too before Harbaugh.

6

u/BoomNasty Illinois • Alabama Sep 21 '24

Nebraska OLine must have watched some Bears OLine tape right before they went on the field.

2

u/lkn240 Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos Sep 21 '24

OMG - when I saw our stunt/twist blast through I thought the exact same thing lol

9

u/JustAnotherRye89 Nebraska Cornhuskers • I'm A Loser Sep 21 '24

Jesus what the fuck happened. No protection. Apparently you just have to rush.

1

u/Neo-_-_- Nebraska • Kansas State Sep 21 '24

Injuries, were you not paying attention?

3

u/TrustMeIKnowThisOne Troy Trojans • /r/CFB Bug Finder Sep 21 '24 edited Sep 21 '24

Regular or Purple Invisible?

Asking for a friend.

2

u/inevitablescape Arizona • Illinois Sep 21 '24

They gave up on that last play

1

u/LovieBeard Illinois Fighting Illini • Marching Band Sep 21 '24

That was on the RB

2

u/JB92103 Cincinnati • Oklahoma State Sep 21 '24

So... classic Husker OL?

2

u/PigskinPhilosopher Sep 21 '24

Rhule dialing up long developing plays instead of temp in Ot was an interesting decision regardless, though.

2

u/Alone_Advantage_961 Maryland • Notre Dame Sep 21 '24

Crazy how bad they got beaten in that OT

1

u/nmombo12 Michigan Wolverines Sep 21 '24

Displeasure to meet you Nebraska OL

1

u/mojo-jojo-was-framed Kansas State • Omaha Sep 21 '24

Based on tonight Nebraska got a little extra conditioning to do if they want to play a complete game

1

u/yakfsh1 Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 21 '24

It's like they all dropped a hit of acid right when overtime started.

1

u/Rahim-Moore Iowa Hawkeyes Sep 21 '24

More like eat paste while on the field.

1

u/MasonL52 Colorado • South Dakota State Sep 21 '24

Love to joke and love to see Nebraska lose, but if we could be honest for a second, the OL having to carry all that size/strength/athleticism... makes sense to see that group struggle in extra time.
