One of the all-time Badger greats at running back is celebrating his 30th birthday today. Melvin Gordon’s 2014 season will go down as one of the best at any position in Wisconsin football history.
In a year where he finished as the Heisman runner-up, Gordon racked up 2,740 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns, while also adding 153 receiving yards and three scores in the passing game.
His greatest moment on the field as a Badger? The iconic 408 rushing yards against Nebraska that will go down as one of the best running back performances in the history of the sport.
Check out the best of Gordon’s Wisconsin career.
