They've been average to below average for a long while now. Yeah, they were good in the mid 90s for a bit but that's because they sold their soul for it.

Won back to back national titles under Bob Devaney in 1970 and 1971. Then under Tom Osborne won three national titles, ended up in the top 15 24 out of 25 seasons, and spent all but three weeks of those 25 seasons in the top 25. 255-49-3 with a winning percentage of 83.9% which is fifth best all time. Fastest coach to reach 250 wins in college football history. Yeah, they good in the mid 90s for a bit---and in the early 90s for a bit, and in the late 80s for a bit and in the mid 80s for a bit, and in the early 80s for a bit, and in the late 70s for a bit, and in the mid 70s for a bit and in the early 70s for a bit. Other than that they have been awful and this is from someone who spent most of my teens, twenties, and thirties hating them.
