Crazy Husker Football Stats Here

[Hardknocks1]

Seeing Rhule being 1-10 in games when we have 5 wins here got me thinking on some more crazy stats. Share yours here.

Here are some wild stats about the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program’s struggles over the past ~15 years:

• They are dead last in the FBS in turnover margin over a 24‑year span (2000 ‑ 2023): a –84 turnover differential. Husker Corner
• From 2021 onward, Nebraska went 3‑10 in games despite having a positive point differential (i.e., they scored more total points than opponents across that span). Saturday Tradition
• They became the first team in major‑college football history to lose 7 straight games by a single‑digit margin. Saturday Tradition
• Looking at “one‑score games” (decided by 8 points or fewer): over the past decade they’ve been in a ridiculous number of them—some fans estimate 60 one‑score games in ~10 years—with an extremely poor win rate (e.g., ~16‑44 in one breakdown) which is far outside the norm. Reddit+1
• Their record by decade gives context: in the 2010s they went 75‑54 (≈58 % win rate) but in more recent years it’s fallen significantly (for example, through 2023 they were 15‑29 since 2020).

this stat will always blow my mind. it's the kind of thing that will legitimately never be accomplished by any other team:

in 2021 Nebraska went 1-8 in Big 10 games with a total point differential of 0
