So where are all of the Burkhead votes coming from?
Abdullah is 2nd behind Mike Rozier all-time among Nebraska running backs, with 4,588 yards, which is 1,200 more than Rex, and he did it on a higher ypc.
Among the top 12 rushers in Nebraska history, Burkhead's 5.2 ypc ranks only ahead of quarterback Taylor Martinez, and I'm guessing if you remove sacks, Burkhead is last.
Plus Abdullah's 73 career receptions is second all time among Nebraska running backs, behind only Marlon Lucky.
