THIS WEEK IN HUSKER HISTORY
The week of Sept. 16-22, looking back in five-year intervals
1982: Nebraska sets four NCAA records in a 68-0 home win over New Mexico State. The margin of victory remains the Huskers’ largest ever at Memorial Stadium.
1987: The Huskers have the week off, but 68,000 show up at Memorial Stadium anyway – for Farm Aid III.
1997: The Huskers jump into the thick of the national title hunt with a 27-14 win at No. 2 Washington.
2007: Ball State, coached by Brady Hoke, gives the Huskers all they can handle and then some, but Nebraska escapes with a 41-40 win in Lincoln.

I was at each of the events
well, remember watching the 97 win over the favored Huskies in a bar in Des Moines - Frost played a helluva game
2007 was when my daughters experienced some new colorful vocabulary in the stadium - 9 and 11 years old
