The Husker football program wants to get a message across to its opponents: You’re human. You have emotions. You have instincts. It’s okay. You’re not alone. You and so many others Fear Ameer.

Ameer Abdullah, that is. Rex Burkhead had a similar website put up for his senior season, but No. 22 was (and is) a humanitarian. That was a testament to who he is as a human being and the recognition he so deserves.
