Probabilistic look at the 2021 Huskers - aka how unlucky were they

I looked at the scores again last week and still can’t believe that season. And the OSU game was closer than the score IMO.

The OSU game is where I was done with Martinez.  It's also the last home game I've been to.

There were receivers open all game long and he just held the ball forever.  I'm not talking about a little separation, they were wide open the entire game.  He had the biggest issue with hitting receivers out of the break.  He simply couldn't do it.

I sped through much of this, but his conclusion is: "this was the unluckiest team in college football history, and they brought it all upon themselves."

That's not exactly luck, in which all else is equal. That's a team that folds under pressure and learns to expect the loss. A team that clearly had the talent to win, but not the mental toughness. That goes to coaching, and that coach is gone.

It's funny because I want to give credit to Matt Rhule for flipping the culture. But it's also a lot easier to win when your quarterback is Dylan Raiola and not Jeff Sims.

I agree. I think the method used in the video to reach that conclusion is interesting.

Probably gunshy from the 4 picks against Purdue the week before.  That was the last home game I made it to.  Nebraska came out and established itself early as the better football team.

After the first pick, all the energy left the stadium, and the Husker sideline.  I couldn't believe how quiet it was in there for the rest of the game.  It was surreal.

Well tbf Rhule got Raiola to come here even though that was a bit of luck. Also McCord would probably have been the QB otherwise and short term might have been a little better on offense tbh.
