LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Ameer Abdullah reached a number of milestones in Nebraska’s win over Northwestern.

He became the first Nebraska player to post three 1,000-yard rushing seasons and the school’s No. 2 all-time leading rusher. He also scored a career-high four touchdowns in the 38-17 victory.

Abdullah said none of those accomplishments mean anything if the 16th-ranked Cornhuskers don’t win the rest of their games.

The senior from Homewood, Alabama, says few people will remember his statistics when his college career is over. He says he would like to be remembered for leading the Cornhuskers (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) to their first conference championship since 1999.

Nebraska hosts Rutgers (5-2, 1-2) on Saturday.
