If you scaled a week's worth of hours into just 60 minutes, we'd be one minute into the 4th quarter of the bye week.

Let's see how the rest of this goes!

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

The Huskers have a net point differential of +141 this season. It's Nebraska's largest net scoring margin through 7 games since the 2014 season (+148 points)

@H_Chandler_Egan It's also a great way to keep keep the mind sharp!

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

To everyone who says this doesn't matter because Oregon started a walk-on who was too small:

In 1994, Nebraska started a 5'11 walk-on against Kansas State. Nebraska managed 260 yards that day

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

The Blackshirts held Oregon to its 11th-fewest yards since Mike Bellotti took over the Ducks program in 1995. It was the fewest by the Ducks since the 2021 Pac-12 Championship Game.

Anthony Colandrea as soon as the Huskers beat a ranked team

@TX_Duck_810 Kansas State finished 9-3 that season. It's only regular season losses were to the teams that finished #1 and #3 that season (and Boston College in the bowl game)

Oregon ran the most plays against Nebraska since the 2023 Colorado game. Why the Huskers must play better complementary football after the bye if they want to get back to winning

Nebraska loses a heartbreaker against Oregon in the second loss in a row, where Nebraska couldn't hold on in the fourth quarter.

Over the last 5 years, Nebraska has set the all-time record for the most one-score losses in each of the 1-19 year time frames.

The 2026 Huskers are just 1 more close loss away from tying New Mexico's 1986-2005 record for the most over 20 years all-time.

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

It means that in each time frame of one-score losses over each of 1, 2, 3, ...., 19 years, Nebraska holds the record.

So 2021 is the 1-year record
2021-2022 is the 2-year record
...
2008-2026 is the 19-year record.

New Mexico lost 64 one-score games 1986-2005. Nebraska lost 63 from 2007-2026

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

@mborland145 Nebraska will probably get my hopes up again against Ohio State and we'll get the tie there. And then Iowa will help us break the record

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

@brandonmeyer3 I expect Iowa to make sure Nebraska gets the record

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

@ViHami86 We know how to close it out on that stat

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

The Huskers have moved back into a tie with North Carolina for most one-score losses over the last 20 years (62)

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

So happy the bye week is here. 10.5 days of enjoyment followed by some soul-crushing 3.5 days at the end.

Such scared play calling for Dana Holgorsen in this game.
