LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska running backs coach Ron Brown likes to call Ameer Abdullah “Mighty Mouse.”
The diminutive sophomore also could be called “The Man.”
Abdullah, who ran the ball all of 42 times last season, reached 200 carries and crossed the 1,000-yard threshold for the season against Minnesota on Saturday.
