nice summary from AJC:
http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-tech-s...-be-broken/?cxntfid=blogs_georgia_tech_sports

Likeliest:
Most Rushing Yards by a Quarterback, Game: 151 set by Josh Nesbitt in 2009
Most Rushing Yards by a Quarterback, Season: 734 set by Joe Hamilton, 1999
Rushing Touchdowns by a QB, Season: 9, set in 1962
Most Rushing Attempts, Season: 692, set in 1975
Most First Downs Rushing, Game: 26, VMI 1975
Most First Downs Rushing, Season: 175, set in 1975
I am surprised last year wasn't the most rush attempts in our history.
 
I expect us to break all of thoes but I am not sure about the First Downs records.

It's difficult to break most TDs by a QB and by another player (read Dwyer) at the same time. I think RB TDs and yards will be a little more spread around this year.
(I am talking about the original bigger list in AJC article, not my likeliest choices.)
 
I agree. Dwyer will still do great, but I don't know if he will have over 1,500 yards because Nesbitt may get more yards this year.
Due to our potent and deep backfield, I think we might see more parity in terms of individual rushing yardage this year. This is most certainly not a bad thing, either.

I don't see us breaking these. It's hard to accumulate that many first downs when you're running for a massive amount of 30, 40, 50+ yard TD's.
