Quote:Pretty much. Wisconsin RBs have already experienced half of a normal NFL RBs career wear and tear before suiting up for their first preseason game.

 

Melvin Gordon isn't your typical Wisconsin RB.

 

I get what you guys are saying and it usually holds true.  Gordon is different.

 

By the way, according to what I'm looking at Ron Dayne had over 1200 carries in college...holy crap.

 

Melvin Gordon has far less though.  Only 82 his first two years and then 404 over the last two.  Melvin Gordon is a different style of RB than your typical Wisconsin guy.  Ron Dayne averaged 5.8 ypc his four years there.  These last two seasons when Gordon has his higher number of carries he's averaging 7.7.  7.6 through all four.

 

What a game.  408 yards and if I saw right that was in 3 quarters of football.
