Here's a list that got forwarded to me today of records that have either already been broken or, barring an amazing turnaround, will be broken in the next two weeks:
> The Huskers have now allowed 30 rushing touchdowns, setting the new record
> for rushing touchdowns by an opponent in a season (previous record, 26,
> 1950)
>
> The Huskers have now allowed 47 total touchdowns, setting the new record
> for total TDs allowed by an opponent in a season (previous record, 41, 1948 &
> 2002)
>
> The defense has now allowed 4,776 total yards, just 291 yards shy of the
> worst season ever, with two games remaining
>
> The defense has allowed 359 points so far, already the record for most
> points allowed in a single season (prior record, 335 points, 2002, 14
> games)
>
> The defense has allowed 35.9 points per game, and needs to hold K State
> and Colorado to fewer than 34 points total (17 apiece) to avoid the worst
> number of points-per-game in Nebraska history
>
> At 249 first downs allowed, the Huskers are only 23 first downs shy of the
> worst-ever showing in allowing first downs
>
> The Nebraska defense is 386 yards shy of setting the new record for
> rushing yards allowed
>
> With zero sacks in today's game, the Huskers need to get 8 sacks per game
> in the next two games to avoid having the worst sack total in school history
>
> The Huskers are 61 pass completions shy of allowing the highest number of
> opponent completions in a season
>
> The Huskers have allowed opponents to complete 57.4% of passes so far this
> season. That's on pace to be another "worst" - the 2004 team set the
> record at 56.7%
>
> The 1968 team set the record for lowest interception percentage
> (INTs/Attempts) by the Huskers at 3.19%. The 2007 team currently sits at
> 24%
>
> The most touchdowns ever allowed through the air in a season was set by
> the 1948 team (19). The 2007 team has allowed 16 so far.
>
> The fewest takeaways in a season by the Huskers were 19, set in 1962,
> 1993, and 2000. This year's team has only 11.
>
> With zero punt return yards today, the Huskers still have only 77 yards
> with two games left. The worst punt return yardage season was 141, set in 1955.
>
> Punt return average is still stagnant, with this year's average (5.92)
> coming in barely above the worst season (5.77).
>
> The 2007 Huskers have 58 kickoff returns this season, a new record (prior
> record, 48, 2002)
>
> The 477.6 yards allowed per game is well above the record of 379.5, set in
> 1948 (and has already assured that this team will "earn" this record as
> well unless they hold Kansas State and Colorado to negative yards).
>
> Nebraska's turnover margin this season is -14. The worst season in Husker
> history is -18, set in 1967.
>
> In the words of Willie Amos after the 2004 season when the Huskers didn't
> make a bowl game: "Records were meant to be broken."
