  1. 64. Football: Nebraska 84, Minnesota 13

    Sept. 17, 1983: The 84 Nebraska hung on Minnesota at the Metrodome in 1983 are the most points the Cornhuskers have ever scored against an FBS opponent and the most points the Gophers have ever allowed. Nebraska racked up 790 yards of total offense with 595 yards coming on the ground on 55 carries. Irving Fryar also had 138 receiving yards on just two catches.

     

    53. Baseball: Nebraska 50, Chicago State 3

    March 15, 1999: The score alone makes this a blowout worthy of recognition, as Nebraska set records for runs and margin of victory in an NCAA Division I baseball game. What's even more amazing is the 12-run mercy rule ended the game after 6½ innings, so all the damage was done in six turns at bat. Nebraska led 23-0 before Chicago State managed its first baserunner, and nine of Huskers' 35 hits were home runs.

     

    20. Fiesta Bowl: Nebraska 62, Florida 24

    Jan. 2, 1996: Although the Cornhuskers were ranked No. 1 in the nation, few observers predicted the demolition that awaited No. 2 Florida with the national title on the line. Nebraska overwhelmed the Gators by rolling up 524 rushing yards. Tommie Frazier accounted for 304 total yards, and Lawrence Phillips -- controversially reinstated after sitting out six games because of a domestic violence incident -- rushed for three touchdowns. Gators quarterback Danny Wuerffel, who would win the Heisman Trophy the following season, was sacked seven times and had an interception returned for a touchdown.

  2. Just for a point of reference, I read an article a year or two ago that talked heavily about the Oregon offense and their zone read option. they claimed that Oregon lead the nation in rushing plays that lost yards. It's just a fact of life with that rushing attack that when the play goes well, it really goes well. When it goes bad, it really goes bad.

     

    I would guess that most on here would be happy with Oregon's offensive line the last few years.

     

    I would believe it. I've long said that Oregon does not have an unstoppable offense. They just have such great athletes that if you make any mistakes, it's going to be a huge play.

     

    That's why Stanford has had as much success as anyone against them over the last several years. They are a physical team with good athletes but they're also very smart and they don't make many mistakes. Thus, they don't give up many big plays and Oregon has trouble against them.
