Mavric Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Mav, where will he likely end up? Had a terrible time trying to find any numbers. Finally found a list here but it doesn't have AA updated and it doesn't quite sync with the above statement. I'm guessing the difference is whether bowl games from years back count in the total or not. If you go to the full FBS list on that site, AA is updated and at #65. Another 1,000 yards would put him in the overall Top 20 and pass Ron Dayne for #1 all time in the B1G. Pretty impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Robin Washut @RobinWashut 3h Abdullah has now passed Ahman Green for 2nd on NU’s all-time list for career yards from scrimmage. Needed 50 to pass, had 60 on 1st drive. Quote Link to comment

After last night's game, he should be around 700 now. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 16m Another Ameer Abdullah stat: He is six rushes from having carried the football more than any #Huskers before him, surpassing Mike Rozier. Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I was at every home game during Rozier's seasons. He made some fantastic plays for sure. Amazing plays. Breathtaking plays. But A.A. amazes on almost every single run. I don't even have any more words to describe it. He simply does something every carry that is "beyond". I'm prejudiced for sure, because I'm a lifelong, red to the core Husker fan. But Ameer is elite. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The 208-yard effort was Abdullah’s fourth career 200-yard rushing game and third of the 2014 season. The four 200-yard rushing games ties Abdullah with Ahman Green for the second-most in NU history, trailing Mike Rozier’s seven career 200-yard rushing games. Abdullah also notched a 200-yard game against the Illini for the second straight season, after posting 225 yards last season. The three 200-yard games this season are tied for the second most in a season, trailing Rozier’s four 200-yard games in his 1983 Heisman season. It was also Abdullah’s 21st career 100-yard rushing game, the second-most in Nebraska history, trailing only Mike Rozier’s 26 100-yard rushing games. Abdullah was tied with Ahman Green (20) coming into tonight’s game. 247 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 In case anyone is wondering, AA is leading the FBS in rushing and All-Purpose yards http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/ Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 they were wise to sit him at 22 carries, but my god he could have easily gotten 300 rushing yards against illinois. he had 100 yards rushing in the first gd qtr. Quote Link to comment

I agree, he should be well-rested heading into East Lansing. He actually had 127 in the First Qtr (on pace for 508!). Post-game, Bo said Ameer could have got 400 if they wanted! Quote Link to comment

Glad they put him in late to bump him over the 200 mark. I think Bo is very much on board w/ this Heisman run... Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Espn just said Ameer might end up with better stats only bc our running backs don't have as much depth as Georgia and Wisconsin. Really? Quote Link to comment
