Single season records and Career marks challenged in '07
Granted it would take the players current pace over 13 games(Bowl game included) but 2 single season records of some note are reachable this year.
Receiving Yds single season:
1435 yds 1998 David Boston
Pass receptions single season:
85 1998 David Boston
Brian Robiskie currently has 17 rec for 342 yds through 3 games. He is tracking for 74 receptions and 1,482 yds.
I know its early but he is tracking to be in striking distance of both and I thought it would be worth noting and keeping an eye on.
Also at his current 3 game pace Beanie Wells is tracking for 1,404 rushing yds in a single season. That would be the 9th best single season rushing total in OSU history.
If he kept up his pace from just the last 2 games he would be pacing for 1,860 yds and that would put him in striking distance of Eddies all time single season record of 1,927 yds.
Again, very early but worth at least noting and keeping an eye on.

If it's close, we could always hope to draw Louisville in a BCS bowl.  |

OK, don't take this personally, please. Your post is making a point that has nothing to do with the likelihood of playing Louisville in a BCS bowl. I get that.
That being said... ain't gonna happen.
The Big 10 is not gonna get a 2nd BCS team this year. Notwithstanding all the talk about the national perception of the conference not mattering; this is one very real upshot of our sullied collective reputation. And it's going to cost the conference millions.
So the Big 10 champ, being the only BCS participant, plays either in the Rose Bowl or in the National Championship game.
If the Rose Bowl loses USC to the NC game, they will have first (or second) choice for a replacement. They won't choose Louisville. (probably 2nd place pac 10 team)
And we all know the likely hood of Louisville making it to the NC game.
*non sequitur alert*
On Topic: I think Robo has a very good chance at one if not both of the receiving records. I seriously doubt that Beanie will get enough carries to threaten Eddie's rushing record.

I think the implication was that Louisville's defense is terrible, thus allowing us to pad the stats to break the records.

I tend to agree with your point considering the current state of the B10 and the opinion of the B10. But, if PSU and tOSU feature teams with 1 loss (or less  ) then I could see two BCS teams.
Now, I don't expect that to happen, but I'm just saying that I could see that as a possibility, especially considering L'ville's meltdown this weekend which has weakened Big East perception and considering that only Oklahoma has appeared strong out of the B12.

I agree. A 1 loss OSU or PSU still has the rep and fanbase to warrant BCS consideration depending on what the rest of the field looks like of course. The at large field is already sans NoD, as rediculous as it is to have to say it, it does make a difference.
