Nebraska is coming off of a 9-4 season and is looking to advance to the Big 10 Championship for the first. Their offense will be led by star running back Ameer Abdullah, who rushed for 1,690 yards and nine touchdowns on 281 carries and caught another 26 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns. If Nebraska improves upon that 9-4 record, Abdullah could be a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender.
Pelini named Tommy Armstrong, Jr., who completed 68-of-131 passes for 966 yards with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions filling in for an injured Taylor Martinez last season, as Nebraska’s starting quarterback. Armstrong beat out Ryker Fyfe and Johnny Stanton to claim the job.
