Firing blanks in overtime has been an unfortunate habit for the Huskers since 2015, and that trend continued during Friday night’s 31-24 loss to Illinois.

For the eighth straight time, Nebraska failed to win in overtime. Failed to score. Failed to even get a first down.

All of this was documented last year after the Huskers’ overtime loss to Wisconsin, but now there are some numbers to update. They’re not getting any easier to digest.

The Huskers have now run 27 plays in overtime during the period for minus-11 net yards. They have thrown nearly as many interceptions (4) as completions (6). No run has gone more than three yards.

More compound numbers:

Before the current eight-game losing streak, Nebraska was 8-1 in overtime games, but is now 8-9. The Huskers’ last overtime win came in 2014 at Iowa in Bo Pelini’s final game as head coach.
