Nebraska Cornhuskers football statistical leaders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nebraska Cornhuskers football statistical leaders are the individual statistical leaders of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. The Cornhuskers compete as part of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, representing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the Big Ten.

Although Nebraska began competing in intercollegiate football in 1890,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1956. Records before this are often incomplete and inconsistent, and are generally not included. These lists are dominated by recent players for several reasons, including college football's progressively increasing season length, an NCAA statute forbidding freshmen from playing varsity football that was in place until 1972, and the exclusion of bowl game statistics in official records prior to 2002.[2] For consistency, statistics from bowl games prior to 2002 are not included in these lists.
