Here’s a frightening piece of Gophers football trivia: What do these four Minnesota games have in common?
1983: Nebraska scored the most points ever against the Gophers in a 84-13 victory.
1994: Penn State’s one-two punch of Kerry Collins and Ki-Jana Carter walloped the U in a 56-3 win.
1998: Purdue quarterback Drew Brees threw for 522 yards and six touchdowns in a 56-21 win.
Saturday: Nebraska boasted three 100-yard rushers and 10 plays of 20 or more yards in a 53-28 rout.
Answer: Those four opponents sit atop the revised Gophers record book for total yards Minnesota has ever allowed in a game.
Nebraska produced 790 yards offense in that blowout 35 years ago, while Penn State had 692, Purdue 689 and Nebraska 659 last week.
The three biggest yardage outbursts each came from programs, either at or approaching a pinnacle, and were produced by players who became household names.
