Ameer Abdullah named AP 3rd Team All-American!

Yea I also like what they said about him on the ESPN link Gator Bowl runningbacks.

Crystal ball: Abdullah will seek an evaluation from the NFL Draft Advisory Board, but he’s not likely to long consider their findings. Expect him back in 2014, bidding to become the first player in Nebraska history to amass three 1,000-yard rushing seasons. If he can avoid fumbles -- Abdullah lost five this year and 15 over three seasons -- a run at the Heisman isn’t out of the question.

Amazing that it has never happened before.

Also looking at Ameer's numbers, he averaged 130 yards per game this season. If he does that in the bowl game as well, and does the same in 14 games next season, he will top Rozier for career rushing yards (I know Rozier's stats did not include bowl games, or even a freshman year for that matter, but it's still remarkable)!

 
Despite a determination to, at all costs, eliminate turnovers from his ever-improving game - despite the improved technique and increased focus - Abdullah lost possession of the football for the 20th time in his three-year Husker career during the fourth quarter of NU's 38-17 loss to Iowa on Nov. 29. Fifteen of those loose balls, including the one against the Hawkeyes, have been recovered by the opponent.
