Career start No. 1
Last week at Minnesota, defensive tackle Nader Abdallah made his first career start. He took over for Doug Worthington, who said he was nursing a slight hamstring injury, although he also played.
Abdallah, a junior, appeared in only nine games in his first two seasons for a total of 23 minutes. But he has been solidly in the four-man tackle rotation this season and has six tackles.
"Nader had a great week of practice, as he usually does, and (the coaches) thought it was best for him to start off, and he played well when he was in there," Worthington said.
Abdallah later left with what Worthington said was a bruised shin.
