RB's yards harder and harder to come by , with the proliferation of spread offenses someone else will break 200 catches

Husker passing has typically been kind of lackluster, running backs have been the tradition. A Junior receiver at U. of Oregon could probably break our receiving record.

Look how long it took for anyone to get this close to breaking Rozier's career rushing mark, 31 years. Think about this, Who was the only other Husker RB that not only lead the Nation in rushing but also lead the nation in all purpose yards in that same year. Answer? The man who's 31 yr old Rushing record that Abdullah will break this year. Think about all of the great Husker RB's we've had since Rozier and no one has been closer than Abdullah. It took this long. Ameer is very special player and I think I can speak for alot of us older NU fans when I say this is a record we have waited for to be broken. Also in these at least last 6 games Ameer has a chance to break or tie Rozier's Career rushing TD mark which stands at 51 and Abdullah is at 37 as of now, Ameer is closing in on the majority of Rozier's records. Ameer as well only needs 12 more Rushing TD's tie Rozier's record of a once NCAA record 29. Ameer has already bested Rozier's YPC mark. Last Ameer only needs 800 and some change yards to pass Ron Dayne's BIG and NCAA All Purpose Yards record. You wanna know who the best RB in NU history is? He's finishing his senior season as we speak. I read Rozier's profile and reading it Ameer mirrors it. What's amazing is Ameer has done what he has in basically the same amount of time as it took Rozier to do it and it helps when you have 3 consecutive 1000 yard rushing seasons, a feat no other RB in NU history has ever been able to accomplish. One last thing to think about is, All of the other Husker greats had far, far better lines than Ameer....GO BIG RED!!!!

Offenses are passing more than they used to while Ameer's record is nearing a conference record, not just a team record.

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.

Different backs have skills for different situations.
