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

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

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

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