Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah breaks school record for carries

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

Ameer Abdullah broke the Nebraska record for most carries in a career on Saturday night.

The senior running back carried the ball one yard in the first quarter of No. 19 Nebraska's matchup with No. 10 Michigan State. It was enough to put his name in the record books.

Abdullah came into Saturday night's contest having rushed for 833 yards, the most of any player in the NCAA. 

Previous record-holder Mike Rozier played for Nebraska for three years, while Abdullah has the benefit of a fourth year of play.
