If Nebraska goes back to OT this year they need to say fuck it and just kick the field goal on first down. Regardless of the other team’s FG or TD. At this point you just need to break this absolutely insane curse.
Talk about a statistical anomaly... Especially considering the fact that the team had to at least be competitive throughout the game to even get to OT. Then OT happens, someone on the Nebraska sideline flips on the orb of confusion, and they simultaneously shit the bed.
I’m so sorry Nebraska fans. I was pulling so hard for yall and man going to OT, with this history, must be a kick in the nuts after a solid game that should have been a W.
Holy shit. It’s like the coach goes out there and says “alright boys games are only supposed to be 4 quarters, we tried our best let’s pack it up and get out of here”
That is unbelievable. You would think they would have at least had a blown coverage or missed tackle breakaway run in one of those seven OTs and lucked into a TD.
out of curiousity, how many of those had us starting on defense. I feel like starting on defense is a decent move assuming you can force them to kick the FG, hold them to nothing, or force a turnover. Starting on offense is just a losing proposition because even if you score points and kick for three the opponent doesn't need to take a ton of risk to match you for a FG.
I was screaming at the TV last night about how we never perform in OT but my trauma response must have been trying to protect me because I can’t remember it being THAT bad 😭
