the best 3-9 team in college football history
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2021
- The best 3-9 team in College Football history is easily the 2021 Nebraska Cornhuskers. This team was a statistical outlier in multiple ways. Not only did they outscore all of their opponents by 63 points (335-272), but they also tied with all of their Big Ten opponents (239-239) despite going just 1-8 in Big Ten play. They beat Northwestern by 49 points, and then lost eight Big Ten games by a combined 49 points. They also played a very tough schedule, and came close to beating multiple top teams. Watch the entire 12 minutes video to see how close they came to beating teams like Michigan State, Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa. The fact that Nebraska outscored all of their opponents by 63 points and nearly beat multiple top 25 teams makes it hard to argue that they are not the best 3-9 team in college football history.

I think this one is hard to argue against. Nebraska outscored all of their opponents by 63 and tied with all Big Ten opponents despite going 1-8 in Big Ten play (they beat Northwestern 56-7 and lost 8 Big Ten games by a combined 49 points). They were also very competitive with every top 25 team they played. Did you guys like this style of video? I haven’t done a season recap video like this before so let me know if there’s anything I could do to improve.
Can you do the best team by record? Life From 0-11 to 13-0
Nebraska found ways to lose and Iowa found ways to win... that is until the big ten championship
@@nvizl maybe I’ll do a community post like that.
@Z A I mean you know what I meant I don’t get what the issue is….
@@pschighlights nah do a video. After the bowls
The Cornhuskers were the most dangerous team in college football this year. There was no other team that could beat BOTH teams on the field every game.
Never heard a better explanation of this team.
As a UNL student and a season ticket holder I take pride in knowing our season went down in the record books
Perfectly said.
Yet no natty
I agree they could beat the other team and themselves. If they didn't beat themselves they would be in the playoffs.
Nebraska should get a special coach designated for the 4th quarter.
They need a closer lol
The biggest issue was Martinez. That dude completely crumbles in 4th quarter. He's gone now, so we should be good.
@@NoNameHo they will dig up another qb named Martinez to replace him no doubt
@@nunziocombattelli6311 Lmao. You’re probably right.
Or possibly a special teams coach? Maybe a kicker to go with him
Nebraska having a point differential of ZERO against B1G opponents this past season is absolutely bonkers
What does that mean?
@nice We only lost by a single possession in every other game, we find ways to lose rather then win
@nice I think it's pretty bizarre to get just one win and that one win is by enough points to make up for eight losses. Comical for sure, but you don't think that's crazy? To beat a team like Northwestern in a blowout should mean you're good enough to beat at least a few decent teams, but we didn't, yet losing to teams like Illinois and Minnesota should mean you get blown out by the really good teams, yet we didn't. Nebraska was a puzzling team this season.
@@charles-sx7do (Except Ohio St, that was 9 points, but yeah that's impressive and they're not a bad team)
@nice struggling to understand what you don't think is "bonkers" about a stat like that.
they went 1-8 in conference and weren't even outscored! that will never happen again in college history.
Point differential of 0. Obviously lost 8 games.
@@RetroEternal they beat Northernwestern by like 55 points
No, no one is going to lose 8 in conference games like that lol
This happens a lot
@@Yeeezuz I don't believe it has ever happened. Find one other example.
At the very minimum, 3 of these losses can be directly blamed on special teams mistakes. At the very least, that's the difference between 3-9 and bowl eligible.
@Hacker Killer Very true, but he's just saying that if our special teams unit had been better this season, we very well could have at least had a bowl game this year.
@@goughpsmythe4979 If "ifs and buts" were candy and nuts, oh what a Christmas we would have.
@@chriswesterfield2042 Wow, great argument. You really used facts and deduction to really disprove what I said.
@Hacker Killer it does matter. How you lose is very important on assessing a program. Nebraska showed they could compete with any team in the country, they couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot. Thank God you aren't an athletic director, head coach,etc
@@michaelvance4492 in year 4 it's a moot point. Coach is in over his head
For such a loyal fan base, they really deserve so much better
Fax it’s crazy that they still fill the stadium every week. I’m pretty sure 95% of teams would have half empty stadiums if they had the same results as Nebraska.
I remember when Nebraska was a team nobody wanted to play
They still are - next year they'll be a ranked team
@@oriolestragic-feelithappen4806 Well coming off a 1-8 conference record there's only one direction to go. Doubt they'll go from that to top 25. At least not initially. I'm just a LSU guy who respects Nebraska's great history. I hope they do well. And what's up with the game in Ireland?? Since when did the NCAA start playing games in Europe?
@@C_Wilson That's pretty cool. Great experience for the team and Ireland.
As someone who was born and raised in Nebraska and a lifelong SKERS fan I've never experienced this season that gave me so much hope but so much pain all in the same motion every damn week...
No one has, and I have a fan since the Bob Devaney days.
Couldn't agree more
Amen brother
I was literally shaking during the Michigan game when we had the lead since the last upset or victory over a top 25 team was in 2016. I saw Martinez fumble and Nebraska screw their selves over. I saw the Michigan game I saw the heroes bowl I saw the Wisconsin game. I had legitimately lost all optimism until recent with all of the coach acquisitions. The cycle will continue and I will never see a good husker team again.
@@ScoobyDoobyBong I do believe we will good Cornhusker teams again, as for when ? No way to know this.
9 games decided by single digits.
8 to Illinois
7 to Oklahoma
3 to Michigan State in OT
3 to Michigan
7 to Minnesota
5 to Purdue
9 to Ohio State (two possession game)
7 to Wisconsin
7 to Iowa
A 3-9 team that had a +63 scoring margin is unheard of. That team lost 8 one possession games is also unheard of. Mind-blowing in itself.
they’re still losing but single digits too
@@aidenmorse3954every game was within 10 points though, very winnable games. I have no dog in this fight but this team is downright impressive and had horrible luck.
When You Realize Nebraska almost beat 5 Teams in the AP Poll
Oklahoma

Michigan
Ohio State
Iowa
(I feel your pain Nebraska fans try watching the Lions that's worse)
Damn 0-5 that’s crazy
As a Nebraska and Lions fan.... yeah
Also Wisconsin which is like 27 if you kept the poll going.
@@lifetake3103 purdue is 31 where is the line of demarcation here
@@thomasjanowski178 Me not reading past one lines of ranking text
The piece de resistance of this masterpiece has to be the Huskers losing the MSU game without the Spartans picking up a SINGLE first down in the second half. The program who, in recent history, loses an incredible number of games it should have won finds its perfect foil in the program who wins an incredible number of games that it should have lost.
Very true
What? Michigan State should not have lost many games. Actually use logic.
@@upbeatproductions7614 MSU won multiple games they were outgained in because of random turnover luck and bonehead plays by opponents. They absolutely should have lost more games.
@@robertcampbell8070 Yup, this and OP are both very true, MSU should lose soo many more games like that insane luck blocked punt into a TD with 4 seconds left against Michigan like 5 years ago
@@KC_50 it’s cause we have a little something. It’s called hear-jk we just have random plot armor lmao.
So I'm a student at Nebraska rn. Went to every home game, watched every away game. Was there on that first Michigan drive when it was deafening. Drove up to Minnesota to watch that awful loss. And I can say without a doubt Nebraska is as close to the cusp of being "good" as you can get. New hires in WR coach Mickey Joseph, OL coach Donovan Raiola and OC Mark Whipple give me great hope for next season. I think our kryptonite is our special teams, which have given up over 50 combined points on missed extra points, field goals or punt returns. That's absolutely terrible, and taking away even 1 special teams play wins the games against Michigan State and probably Wisconsin. For a 3-9 team that stadium was at 95% capacity to above every single game this season. I hope the Huskers can pull it together cause I know all of us fans want a winning season so bad we can taste it. Thanks for the video PSC!
Typical husker fan. “ next year is the year” clown
What fan isn't hopeful that they are better next year? Win a championship and I'd still want a better team the next season.
I’m also a husker fan!
I'll believe it when I see it. Frost at the bare minimum needs to make/win a bowl game next season if he wants to keep his job, especially after so many fans blaming the SoS this season for the record. Next season is a cakewalk comparatively, Oklahoma is even gutted next season with a new staff and no Rattler. No coach has taken a down team and turned a program around after four consecutive losing seasons. I just don't think Frost has it in him. His refusal to even hire a special teams coach should have gotten him fired this year.
As a Penn State student I feel that we were in similar boats this season. Although 9 close losses is way worse than 5, both of us had games that we should've won slip through our fingers.
I'm guessing this is why Scott Frost is being given one more chance next year. Hard to believe you can blow that many opportunities. They seemed jinxed this year.
The school (not Frost) got in some great assistants for 2022.
Jinxes don't exist. You are what your record says you are. Frost effed it up with a lack of institutional control, as heavily implied by a tweet from Troy Dumas that mentioned coaches rolling in to work approximately whenever they felt like it. Good teams have full coaching staffs on board in the office before the effing sun comes out. I'm sure some guys did, but you're only as good as your weakest link. Trev Alberts apparently had to start shoving boots in asses, sad it came to that.
I'm a all fairness, a couple of those games were just bad decisions by Martinez/great plays by defensive playmakers. Mainly Michigan and MSU. I'm a Michigan fan, but man... I really felt for the players on that Nebraska team last year. Just heartbreaking.
Dude is blowing it again
@@simonwheeler9502 I don't even know how it's possible to lose to the worst team in the B1G in the week 0 opener two years in a row. Frost's seat isn't hot, it's on fire.
Seems like they lost 3 games just on terrible special teams blunders and missed kicks.
I guess Nebraska has gone full circle, from firing a guy going 9-3 to keeping the guy going 3-9.
yes but that 3-9 coach also won a natty for nebraska
@@IceKing89 as a player. Who gives a shit? Do what's best for the program instead of playing favorites

@@jordanriley2496 Auburn that's it? in 2017?
This reminds me a lot of the video Jon Bois did on the 2010 Chargers. They were dominant on both sides of the field: offense and defense, but struggled with special teams and that's the reason they didn't make the playoffs that year. I think a lot of these losses can be boiled down to special teams blunders so I just think the two teams are extremely similar
I hope he makes a video about this team
Very good insight, I've seen that video too.
@@latortugapicante719 dont remind me 😭 my team had the #1 offense AND defense and couldn’t even make the playoffs 💔
They also sometimes have a turnover problem in clutch situations but that happens with many teams. It just seems more prevalent because they could have been better this season if not for their special teams and that which cost them many games.
@@ethanmerritt3328 like the fumble against Michigan that gave them the field goal to win...
All I can think of is that guy on Fordham who made 40 tackles.
Who
@@gameman7463 Ryan Greenhagan, it was "only" 30 tackles.
They also had pretty much the hardest possible schedule a big ten team could have. They’re in the big ten west so they only play against 3 of the 7 big ten east teams every year and this year those three were Ohio state, Michigan, and Michigan state who also happened to be the three best teams in the big ten this year. Oh and they also played Oklahoma in the nonconference slate.
The Big 10 west is dog water. There is no reason they should not have achieved minimum Bowl eligibility with the offense they had and the offenses of the other west teams being as awful as they were
@@m00t53 Considering a very average Iowa team barely won the West with one of the easiest schedules ever (and then deservedly got stomped by Michigan to bring them back to reality)
@@m00t53 You missed my point. Yeah the east is better but only because of osu, Michigan, and Michigan state, all of whom Nebraska played. The bottom of the east is no better than the bottom of the west so yes Nebraska had the toughest possible schedule a big ten team could have
@@bagelman2422 No, not only because of those 3. Penn State and Maryland are also regularly better than the majority of the west. The west has Iowa and Wisconsin and nobody else in that division is ever relevant. Purdue? Northwestern? Nebraska? Illinois? All trash. Pathetic teams. Minnesota? The epitome of mediocre. Will never make the leap. The two best teams in the west never accomplish anything. Nebraska has exponentially better resources and boosters than the rest of the teams in the west and there is absolutely no reason they should not be running that division every year. Instead, Nebraska loses to those teams and is consistently among the bottom of not just their division but the entire Big 10. Give me one school in the west that even sniffs the resources Nebraska has at their disposal. You can't, because there isn't one.
@@m00t53 if northwestern is so trash then why have they made the big ten championship twice in 4 years?? Sounds like ur just a casual
They could probably be put in the playoff against Alabama or any other top team this year and still only lose by a last second safety or field goal.
That would be fascinating to see. Hell, we did almost beat one of them.
Nah, they'd lose on a last second extra point block 1 point safety
No they’d lose by at least 35 to an on fire Ohio state team and they’ll lose by 28 against Alabama
@@huntertrip8273 there is no evidence suggesting any team is capable of beating by Nebraska by more than 1 score in the final play of the game.
@James Cardwell I don't care about Nebraska, Ohio State, or the Big 10 but Ohio state was only up by 6 with Nebraska driving and then fumbled with 1:44 left in the game. Why can't people just admit something weird happened this season and some gypsy must've cursed that program.
Nebraska student here. Also a Chargers fan so seeing these late 4th quarter mistakes cost us big games has been something i've been used to by my Chargers, but being in person at most of them especially both Michigan and Iowa was insane.
This year I think was our first REAL rebuilding stage.
This comment ages really well for both teams. A 5-7 finish for the Huskers and so far the Chargers have that same record with 5 losses being by 3 or less points. 😂
Bro, this must be like watching the same thing on Saturday and Sunday.
Husker fans: speaking from experience as a long time Bama fan (as in pre-Saban) I can only assure you that it sucks now, but a program like Nebraska is to great to not have a comeback. It’ll be sweet when it does.
Once bama quit trying to find someone connected bear Bryant they found lasting success, Nebraska fans are so hooked on TO connections that we won’t ever make it back
I'm also a Bama fan....
Nebraska's not coming back. It's over.
As a Nebraska fan, regardless of score, the record still speaks for itself, and what does it say? Incredible pain
Yea but it's better than getting beat by 70 points against ranked opponents. We are heading in the right direction. Especially for having the toughest schedule in the country this year
I think we just need a rebirth. Frost wasn't calling the plays, so blame his dumb friends for being idiots and the special teams coach.
@@ScoobyDoobyBong Well that's why we got new coaches.
@@grant8490 how can you say you’re headed in the right direction when you continue to have players transfer out and just signed the WORSE recruiting class in the B1G? The right direction starts with a new coach Frost is not the answer
@@nickwolfe2048 Stop trolling.
As a UM fan this is 100 percent facts!!!! Cornhuskers scared me before the game and without a great play from our defense we lose this one. Much respect for the Nebraska program!
This is how I felt as PSU fan thought we should of been able to beat everyone we lost to as well but didn't even with no run game. Oh well how it goes sometimes.
I was at the Michigan/Nebraska game. I thought Michigan was the best team we played all year. Good luck against Georgia and win it all for the Big 10!!
Honestly thought they were going to beat Iowa and then they just broke down 4th quarter. I'm a big Hawkeye fan but the Huskers have a solid chance to play fantastically, they just need to finish.
No. If we had a good special teams then maybe we could have won, just like with almost every other game. But that Iowa game hurt the most. Because out of every game we played i thought we were gonna win that game the most.
Ok I'm an Oklahoma sooner fan and I completely agree. They really are a good team they just have some problems. I actually live in Nebraska and it's hard being s sooner fan up here but I always want them to win unless its against ou... but I agree.
Heretic!
@Casey Myers I feel that same about rooting for yall expect when yall play us but I also hope both teams recruiting problems are solved and are they best they can be.
@@adds7094 I feel like the Oklahoma/Nebraska rivalry has got to be one of the only ones in the world built on mutual respect
Nebraska wants OU to win when they aren't playing them as well. I venture it is easier being the fan of ANY other team in Nebraska than vise versa. Too bad you guys didn't make it in this year. The Big10 is absolutely shit to be in. I long for the days of the Big 12.
Nebraska's toughest opponent was Nebraska's Special Teams.
Never underestimate special teams
Living in Nebraska and being a Nebraska fan, I just want everyone know that you do not know how painful it is, we didn’t lose by double didgets. A big part is our special teams
Who’s here after their loss to northwestern yesterday???
Consistent QB play would help this team out immensely. Got Martinez out of the way, so maybe the curse is broken?
No Scott frost still around
Martinez was the reason we were in most of those games, and the reason we lost most of those games. It was maddening.
you can't blame the quarterback. The quarterback you guys have is great. this team would of had a 10 win season easily if not for bad play by the defense and special teams. almost every week the special team gave a touchdown to the other team for God's sake
@@brettonbeard1851 I'm not a Nebraska fan...far from it. Just happen to like Frost, and I honestly hope they turn things around.
And yes, I can blame Adrian Martinez. He held them back, because he was either the hero or a zero. Never anything more than a liability most of the time. And yeah there's problems across the whole team, but if Martinez could have played more consistent, the defense and special teams wouldn't have been on the field nearly as much.
Hasn't broken the "Eichcurse", where your old athletic director had to evaluate where Iowa was as a program after firing pellini. Eight L's in a row since he dissed them.
As a Husker fan, I went ahead and gave your video a thumbs-up, but it's gonna be a minute before I watch it. I just can't go through all that heartbreak again right meow.
If you took every game that was decided by at least one score (8 points) and flipped the results, Nebraska is sitting at 11-1 with wins over Michigan State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa, with a lone 9 point loss to Ohio State
Good enough for a most likely top ten ranking and represent long the B1G West in the B1G championship game
Man it’s tough being a Husker fan sometimes. Wouldn’t want to cheer for any other team though. GBR!
I'm amazed by how long people kept thinking Scott frost was the guy for Nebraska
THIS is why you’re my favorite highlight channel! Interesting video concept with simple and exciting execution! Thank you PSC!
Maybe you could do something like every FBS most exciting/longest/etc play of 2021!
If not for their catastrophic special teams play, they would have been 7-5.
True, but If "ifs and buts" were candy and nuts, oh what a Christmas we would have.
I agree with this take 100%. I feel bad for Nebraska fans and Scott frost because they have always competed in games this season but lost heartbreakers almost every week.
Nebraska in close game: ight ima head out
As a Nebraska fan, it’s hard to see this. But I have hope in this team and in Frost
Frost. Make Nebraska Great Again!
He probably won’t
I don't know but I mention to my firends that your coaching staff might be a problems or just Adrien...... but I don't know. But coming from an ou fan (which I cheer for yall every time when you play us) I hope your problems are solved and you (almost) become the great team yall were
Glad to see Nebraska keep Frost. Just feels like they’re about to break out with a great run.
From an Oklahoma State fan.
I feel you 100% we get everything going our way and one thing causes a snowball
make Nebraska great again? Ha!
They have been irrelevant since 2000s, and destined to fall even lower with frost in charge. The state of Nebraskas football team is lower than it was in the Callahan era, frost needs fired immediately
Beautiful title. I absolutely agree. I'm saving this video so I can remember this team for as long as possible. This team truly deserved to go to a bowl game but college football can be crazy.
That way the ball bounced (@10:40) during that blocked punt into the hands of an Iowa player who then ran it in for a touchdown is probably the play/moment that best represents the Huskers season.
Yeah. Exactly!
What’s the percentage of blocked punts that bounce that perfectly into someone’s arms? Like less than 1%?? LOL.
It’s sad.
@@travisb2846 I'm certainly no Huskers fan, but every college football fan knows the misery of when an improbable play goes against you. I just feel bad for Nebraska because their season was full of those. Every weekend I'd watch highlights on BTN a Nebraska game would come up and I'd think, "What was is this time?"
Just before that play they showed the Iowa Hawkeyes record against us and it was 7-0 when I saw that I said well it looks like it's about to be 7-1 next play blocked punt
Special teams costed us almost every game
Great video. Exactly what I was thinking.
Watching this now after the Frost firing. Hopefully now the Huskers can begin to heal.
Using the SEASON point differential is meaningless given that they can molly-whop a 4-8 Buffalo, 3-9 Northwestern and 6-5 Fordham to pad their stats.
If you wanted to show how good they are, you should have used the point differential of -36 points against SIX teams in the top 25. That's a pretty nuts stat in and of itself. Or the fact that 8 of their 9 losses were 1 possession, and 5 of those that were 1 possession were top 25 teams.
What was their record against top 25 teams? That says enough about them..
Exactly
@@changed_name1951 I mean not really. 0-6 and losing be an average of 40 is much different than 0-6 and losing by an average of 6. They could very easily be 9-3 with 6 wins over top 25 teams given they were in all but one of those games until the last possession.
Scoring TDs with less than 2 minutes or whatever left to make your double-digit loss look "close" ain't that impressive either.
@@changed_name1951 nope not at all. Doesn't even come close to telling the story. They just as easily could have won 11 games and be in the playoffs
I was addicted to watching Nebraska games this year- they were always entertaining and the team played hard all the way through- their coach deserves more time
Nice work as usual

Michigan 38 - Wisconsin 17
Michigan 33 - Northwestern 7

It’s been a pretty frustrating 20 years of football for us. We’re not okay.
Nice vid man 😁
Great analysis. Love these kinds of breakdowns. One of my favorites is how the 2010 Packers were the best 10-6 team ever by a massive margin. Not only did they win the Super Bowl, they had the 8th best offense and 2nd best defense in points per drive, while also playing a hard schedule. Their offensive vs defensive output was so good, it gave them a better Pythagorean win total than the 2011 Packers, who went 15-1.
But the craziest part is that the 2010 Packers are the only team in history to *never* go down by more than 7 points, ever. On every single down throughout the entire season, the Packers were 1 play away. Even when Aaron Rodgers got hurt and they had to play the 14-2 Patriots, they never lost by more than 4.
When the playoffs came, they already won multiple games vs 10+ win teams in a row, and won out in dominant fashion.
This reminds of that, but just more extreme.
That was an awesome green bay team, fun to watch, I will say mahomes and kc never lost 1 game by double digits until the 2020 superbowl so basically 3 years of football then laying an egg in the big one.
This is 100% true. Nebraska blew so many games this year. Add 10 points to every game they played they would have finished 12-0.
If my auntie had a pecker she would have been my uncle.
Hard knocks anyone? Honestly though they should've stayed in the Big 12, but it is very encouraging that they are improving. Hopefully the ship is on its way to being righted. As an ISU fan good luck and good times will find you Big Red
We went to the big 10 championship in 2013, we just lost by a lot
Texas and OU were looking at the SEC 15 years ago. That's why Colorado, Missouri, A&M and Nebraska bolted. That conference is a steaming pile of Bevo shit, and always was.
Most maddening video I’ve ever seen, purely incredible
I started watching football by watching Harbaugh’s 49ers team. Then I went to UM and watched more Michigan’s games. I saw a lot in common in this Nebraska team not only this year but years before. Good things happen for those who wait. I think next year they can make a statement

Nice video and it really sucks for my cornhusker bros. A couple things go their way and they make it to a bowl. A few more and they could be ~10-2
Thank you so much for this early Christmas gift and the best gift ever

Who’s here after they lost to Northwestern?
It is so hard to watch heart breakers every week but I’m a faithful fan and can’t wait to see what comes in the future GBR🎈
As a student at Nebraska, it still shocks me that every time I look up in the stands it states "384 consecutive sellouts"
Absolutely wild
Unbelievable to see a team get two intentional grounding safeties in the same season...
Yeah I really stressed my heart out these last couple seasons. I still love Nebraska, but man it's been tough! GBR
I watched every one of these games. Still trying to wrap my head around this.
At least I can get excited over the off-season.
this is the most exciting offseason, with us looking for a new qb, star players, and new amazing coaches
As a Michigan fan for many years, I always get worried when I see Nebraska on the schedule, your record does not define you in college football, and this 21" Nebraska football teams proves that. They came so close to being great. All respect to them but still #GoBlue
As a Husker fan this was the most pain I’ve ever experienced watching football
Aren't you getting used to it now, though? No joke. I live in NE and have been a die-hard fan for almost 45 years. I felt the most pain in the Bill Callahan era. He took us places we'd never been before. I'd have to listen to the post-game radio call-in show, Big Red Reaction after each loss. It was group therapy to me.
@@Mary_O at least Callahan had 2 good seasons and could recruit. Frost has sunk the program to new depths. Easily the worst coach since Bill Jennings, but "they're so close!" 🙄
Tulsa was pretty similar. Oklahoma state beat them by 3. Cincy barley survived then. Ohio state won by 21 but they were only up by 7 with 4 minutes left. There were some late scores that made rhe game seem like it wasn't close. They weren't quite on the same level as Nebraska but they had similar season.
Tulsa won several close games and finished 7-6 with an FPI of 76. Nebraska lost everything that was remotely competitive while beating Northwestern by more than anyone else. Their FPI ranking at the end of the season was 29 while finishing 3-9. The next best FPI ranking for a 3 win team was Georgia Tech at 82. I would love to have someone calculate the odds of Nebraska only winning 3 games with that level of play, but I can assure you that it's statistically insane.
Bussin with the boys interview was really good with Harbaugh and Frost we got a new trophy game to play for.
As a Michigan fan I’m happy we won that game but my soul do I feel bad for Nebraska. They’re a great team on the cusp of great things, they just gotta stay out of there own way.
As one coach use to say,
1. You lose big
2. You lose close
3. You win close
4. You win big
It was tough being a husker fan this year, I went to the Illinois & Ohio state game. Nebraska is incredibly close to being elite, there’s just something missing.. (quarterback & kicker)
(competent coaching)
Nowhere near close to elite
A good coach
So far from elite, the amount of mistakes and issues on all sides is ridiculous
Hopefully Smothers or our freshman is our guy we need
I've been a Nebraska fan since 1970. They haven't had a good team since they fired Bo Pelini. The last great team had Scott Frost as quarterback
Whatever year that was where they demolished Northwestern in the Holiday bowl was great. 11-1, I think? Crouch was qb. Maybe 99? 2000?
@@michaeldalton8374 the disrespect for Crouch and Solich is real
I wanted almost every Nebraska game this year for some reason (I'm a Michigan fan). In my 30+ years of spending my Saturdays glued to the TV, I've never seen a team do what the Huskers did in 2021. Truly astonishing.
Really like your work. Scott Frost is 5-20 in one-possession ball games while head coach at Nebraska. I have them listed below (I'm a Nebraska fan and my sentiments are mutual among the other Husker faithful that have commented.) I'm certain you could find a few videos on each game, choose a great title, and remind us of how close NU has been in four years. This will also generate a lot of chit-chat in the comments if enough NU fanatics get sight of it...

Oh yeah. They were so good it caused them to fire their coach a few games into this season.
As Bill Parcells once said "you are what you're record says you are."
I forgot how that season felt. Watching this video brings it all back. A visceral gut punch
More videos like these please
If we had an O Line and decent special teams, this season would’ve been wayyy different. Onto next year.
Great video, but I would have put the data up differently by showing the total points of their losses and the average points that they lost by. The data would still be impressive for a 3-9 team. The Fordham and Buffalo games are throwaways so I would not count them.
Yes, but most 3-9 teams wouldn’t have a + scoring margin even if you counted those two games
Yea that’s a good point. I still think it’s impressive a 3-9 team had a positive scoring margin, but the most notable part was how close all their losses were.
Yup, this is the current state of my home team. The potential to win games is absolutely maddening. It’s crazy how much special teams and decision making matter-most teams can recover from a mistake or two. But somehow our mistakes always come at the most inopportune times. Like Martinez pushing for yardage or our kickers missing extra points. Honestly, I think if there wasn’t such pressure to be the Osborne Huskers again, then we’d eventually sort things out. Everyone wants greatness, but I just want to see our team succeed without being so bogged down by the slump of the past few years. Even like a solid 7-5 or 8-4 season would be awesome ya know?
At the end of the day it’s just a game though, and if gives our state a sense of community and builds these players character, then who cares about the score…
I'm a huskers fan grew up in nebraksa so It hurt watching every game lose like the broncs had done quarterback issues but we got them fixed I hope to see I big improvement this year
Here after they go 0-1 by 3 points to start the 2022 season
Without a doubt the best 3-9 team ever. Played a brutal schedule and was in every game late in the 4th.
Honestly they could be in the playoffs if they knew how to finish games
my highschool is a feeder school to nebraska, we have a whole wall in the locker room dedicated to nebraska and one of our coaches played at nebraska and even got drafted. he didnt last long though but hes a great coach with good lessons
Finally someone that gets it it was painful season for us but it was a fun one to watch
Nebraska could have literally been undefeated and made the playoffs if the ball just bounced their way once during every game. Just once.
Not even a lie either
You have no idea what this season was like as a Husker fan.
There were a few of those games that were just unlucky with the other team making some damn good heads up plays. Some of those interceptions were madden level.
They had a ridiculously hard schedule. They honestly were probably on par with purdue this year and would likely be bowl eligible if they had an easier schedule. That's partially on the AD but the big ten as a whole was just very good this year
"WHY IS DEFENSE CONSIDERED IMPORTANT?"
*shows this vid
More like special teams haha
Defense was pretty good all year. Special teams failure accounted for at least half our losses.
Defense was probably our better side of the ball this year. They had their mistakes, but not like the chokes on our offense and blunders by our special teams.
Nebraska is the NCAA version of the Falcons
Vikings
@@jaywilkinson1352 same team at this point 😂
No, I wouldn't agree, the Huskers didn't get choke leads like the Falcons did, they only did once or twice
Glad to see they are giving frost another year they obviously are improving. They were in every game this year and every gane was winnable.
As a Nebraska fan through and though, this shit gives me tears bro, I don't even think Browns or Lions fans have ever felt this kind of pain. Shoot even the Bills going to all those Super Bowls can't feel the same. We're in a league of our own but knowing we got Zavier Betts comin back and the homie Richard Torres we about to blow up. DECOLDEST!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Huskers fan, let me assure you, this is nothing to be proud of. Blowing out one Big10 opponent and then dropping seven close games does not make a good team; what it makes is a frustrated fan base that watched week after week after week of Husker football figuring out ways to lose.
Y’all know this is how the game is played now right. Bend don’t break. Let the down team score and run out the clock so you don’t use your timeouts. I’m a lifelong sker fan but the hype needs to go away. The best athlete we had is gone. It’s another year of biters, but stop the hype. Damn.
Ain’t that the truth the huskers have kept everyone close that they played just can’t clutch up when needed the most (edit) The same applies to Louisiana Tech they are good they just don’t know how to clutch up exactly like Nebraska
I love that this was just recommended to me
Hey PSC you should do a Florida State season recap, since they went 0-4 and still almost finished with a bowl game. And since your a fan of the Noles like me I think its fitting
