Abdullah passed Johnny Rodgers for the top spot in career all-purpose yards at Nebraska (4-0), catching a 3-yard touchdown pass and scoring twice on the ground. Tommy Armstrong Jr. rushed for 96 yards and passed for 113 and two scores while Kenny Bell made four catches for 70 yards and a TD.

Brad Kaaya was 28-of-42 for 359 yards and three touchdowns for Miami (2-2), which turned over the ball three times. Duke Johnson had 93 yards and a touchdown on the ground and caught five passes for 84 yards to lead the Hurricanes in both categories.

Johnson opened the scoring for Miami with a 2-yard run less than five minutes into the contest, but the Cornhuskers responded two minutes later as Armstrong found Bell for a 40-yard score. The Hurricanes took a 14-7 lead early in the second, when Kaaya connected with Clive Walford for a 6-yard touchdown, but Nebraska scored 17 straight points on a pair of TDs by Abdullah sandwiched around Drew Brown's 19-yard field goal at the end of the second quarter.

Kaaya got Miami back within three on a 9-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Lewis, but the Cornhuskers upped the lead to 10 when Josh Mitchell returned a fumble by Johnson 57 yards for a score near the end of the third. Michael Badgley and Brown swapped field goals in the fourth, but a six-play, 70-yard drive — aided by three personal-foul penalties by the Hurricanes — was capped by Abdullah's 10-yard TD run with 4:13 remaining to put Nebraska comfortably ahead.
