In Big Ten Network’s ‘Countdown To Kickoff,’ Melvin Gordon was selected to represent 25 days left to the start of the Big Ten football season. The selection included a highlight video from Gordon’s playing days as a Badger and showed just how dominant his college career was.
The clip showed several of Gordon’s most impressive runs, including some highlights from his outstanding performance in the 2012 Big Ten Championship Game where he ran for 216 yards and a touchdown in the Badgers 70-31 blowout win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Although the 216 rushing yards were eye-popping from that game, the statistic that really stands out is Gordon’s 24 yards per carry.
It is great to be able to see some of Melvin Gordon’s old highlights to remember just how great his play was at Wisconsin and gets me even more excited for the start of Big Ten football.
The man once ran for 408 yards in three quarters.@BadgerFootball great @Melvingordon25 did so much damage in No. 2⃣5⃣.
