Husker Football: Ameer Abdullah’s Five Steps to the Heisman

4. Heisman Moment(s)

Gotta have that highlight reel. ESPN’s got an hour to fill during its Heisman ceremony, and it can only use so much fluff footage. Everyone in attendance and watching at home wants to see why you’re there in the first place.

Abdullah has plenty of highlights from years past, but what about this season?

The game-winning run against McNeese State to avoid the biggest upset in Nebraska history’s at the No. 1 spot for now, but there’s so much time left in 2014.

What if he beats Michigan State by hurdling over the Spartans’ goal line unit on a fourth-and-inches play?

What if he runs, catches and returns a kick/punt for a touchdown? What if he blocks a punt?

Good news: these are all possibilities. The punt-blocking is unlikely, but the man himself offered his services.
