Scott Frost and the Nebraska football program lost yet another close game on Saturday, falling to Northwestern 28-31.
This theme has become all too familiar for Cornhusker fans — and there’s a wild stat to prove it.
Nebraska has gone 1-9 over its last 10 games. The overall point differential in this stretch comes out to just -2.
Oddly enough, the blowout win that helps even out this differential for Nebraska is an October 2 win over Northwestern during the 2021 season. The Cornhuskers claimed victory in that contest with a 56-7 routing.
Since that blowout win, all but one of Nebraska’s losses have come in one-possession games. The lone outlier is a nine-point loss to Ohio State on November 6, 2021.
During the Scott Frost coaching era, the Cornhuskers are 5-21 in one-possession games.
Unless Nebraska is able to turn things around after this heartbreaking start, it feels like Frost’s time in Lincoln is coming to an end.
