[JB]

Melvin Gordon only needed three quarters to set a single-game rushing record.

408 yds against Nebraska

edit: Oh the game is still going... wow

I've said it before and I'll say it again...he looks like Jamaal Charles to me. Not as developed in the passing aspect of the game, but the burst and vision are top notch. His ability to shoot through tiny gaps and break down guys in the open field is very Charles-like, as is the home runs speed.

He did in 3 quarters only, didn't play in the 4th

Is Gordon really that good, or is Nebraska just really that bad at stopping the run? I'm not real familiar with the 2015 RB prospects. Either way it's still a tremendous accomplishment.

Nebraska has been pretty solid against the run the last few years unless they're playing Wisconsin. They were also the last team this year to hole Duke Johnson (Miami RB) under 100 yards. Wisconsin has their number though. Wisconsin has put 500+ rush yards on them in each of their last 2 games. As for Gordon, he's easily the best Wisconsin RB since Dayne. He's far superior to the overhyped bust Montee Ball.
