Husker Football: Fresno State Bulldogs Report Card

It was another 100-yard effort from Nebraska’s Heisman candidate Ameer Abdullah who has reached or bettered that yardage total in 13 of his last 16 games, dating back to game one of last year.

He added another highlight to his collection with a one-cut-and-go touchdown run from 57 yard out to put the Huskers up 14-0 early on.

The Homewood, Alabama native’s 19 carries for 110 yards were a treat along with Imani Cross’s spectacular 62-yard touchdown run.

The “big back” cruised through the Bulldog defense and showed some speed holding off defensive backs hot on his trail.

The overall mark was dropped due to the pesky fumbling issue creeping back up. Nebraska lost the turnover margin battle for the first time in 2014 following Terrell Newby’s fumble inside of Nebraska’s own 20-yard line.
