Freshman Ameer Abdullah had five kickoff returns for 211 yards, establishing a Nebraska single-game record. The previous record was 186yards by Josh Davis on seven returns at Kansas State in 2002. Abdullah had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, and a 38-yard kick return earlier in the game. The 100-yard return for a touchdown marked the Huskers' second kickoff return for a touchdown in the past 10 games (also Niles Paul, 100 yards at Oklahoma State last season).

Nebraska freshman Ameer Abdullah captured several honors for his electrifying performance against Fresno State. The I-back/returner was named the Big Ten Special Team Player of the Week as well as the Freshman of the Week, while he also captured the College Football Performance Award for National Kickoff Returner of the Week.
