If Abdullah finishes 2nd or 1st in rushing ever at Nebraska but never wins a championship, how do you think he will be remembered long term?

I think he will still be remembered for his consistency. Hopefully we cane win a championship so he can be remembered for that also.

He only needs about 900 yards to pass Ahman Green for second. He has a really good chance at that.

 
Part of me wants to see him break the record but a bigger part of me wants to see his carries get reduced. Need to develop some depth going into next year.

Ameer needs 1804 to catch Rozier. Averaged 130 a game last year. Say he keeps pace and leads #Huskers to B1G title game. 130 x 14 = 1820.

Not many can say they had this opportunity. It's within reach if everything falls into place.

I really hope he can break the record.

He really deserves it, especially having to follow up one of the most beloved Huskers ever.

Think of how many yards Green would have had if he was not out after the first half/early 3rd quarter because the Huskers were destroying everyone?! If he passes Rozier, it will be quite the accomplishment though. To get the amount of yards he has with the patchwork line and lack of consistency on the line over the years is impressive.

 
If Ameer passes Rozier in yardage, he will probably be winning an award or 2. Might not be the hypesman, but possibly a couple other ones.

A friend of mine had this conversation a couple days ago. He said that no matter what Ameer wouldn't be in the top 5 of RB's all time at Nebraska. I respectfully disagreed.

Well that's stupid of him to say.

He would definitely be in top 5, if he won a championship his ranking could go higher.

Long term, I think it will be tied more to Pelini. Unfortunate to say so because what he's done here has been pretty solid. However, if Pelini goes on to win a championship in the next 4-5 years...many will look back on this year as a stepping stone to those championships and thus will associate Ameer as one of the building blocks to Pelini's eventual success. If Pelini flames out and drops a 6-7 loss season here soon and gets fired, Ameer will be a small bright spot in a period of Husker football marked by fan division and mediocrity.

Lord holds the single season rushing yardage for QBs by a wide margin, Ganz and Taylor are the two best passing QBs in the history of Nebraska, Ganz holding the 2nd highest QB rating. Swift was probably one of the best WR's ever, with Purify having a pretty solid argument to be included in there as well. Ruud was one of the better LBers obviously, but not many talk about Demorrio Williams. All guys near the top in their respective categories but their accomplishments are overshadowed by the teams they played on, and the era's they played in. I think Ameer will end up being the worst case of this, with TMart right up there as well. Both's legacies hinge on Pelini's near future achievements, or lack thereof.

You put Ameer behind the 95 line or 97 line, or any good to great o-line, Ameer hits 2000 last year. I think it's absurd that he has to rely so much on vision so early in the play development rather than downfield a couple yards.

Ameer's skill set is pretty outstanding if you really break it down.
