Very true, especially if McEvoy gets the nod. But without James White, that nasty O line, I'm hoping he gets 300 touches. I just think he's got all the tools to just destroy defenses as the feature back. Can't see Anderson not utilizing their bread and butter this year and just run behind those beasts! Can you believe Wisky plays LSU week 1?? I can't even sleep, lol. Gonna be fun. LSU has a freshmen RB coming in that might give Gordon a run for his money.

Melvin Gordon now holds a lofty perch in college football history. The question now becomes if he can keep it.
The Wisconsin RB ran for a staggering 253 yards and five touchdowns on just 13 carries in the Badgers' 68-17 blowout win against Bowling Green on Saturday. The incredible 19.5 yards per carry means Gordon now has the most yards per carry of any running back in college football (min.: 300 carries).
Entering the game the career leader was Glenn Davis, who played at Army from 1944-1946. While partnering with FB Doc Blanchard, the two formed a Mr. Outside (Davis) and Mr. Inside (Blanchard) combination. For his career, Davis averaged 8.26 yards per carry.
With his monster game, Gordon, a junior, currently has 2,759 career yards on 321 carries, an average that works out to approximately 8.6 yards a carry. Before the game, Gordon's average was 8.13.
While two of Gordon's TDs were two and three yards each, he made up for them with TD runs of 21, 50 and 69 yards. It's crazy to think, but his average could have been better too. He also had a carry for no gain and a carry for a loss of a yard.

He would have to have some big games late in the year...Nebraska, Iowa. Wisconsin would need to get to the Big Ten title game and probably win. His stats are nice from this game. But everyone is going to say, it's Bowling Green. The week before they gave up 8 yards a carry to Coleman (Indiana). Pretty much everybody has trucked on Bowling Green. There is no Heisman moment here. Wisconin's Oline opens massive holes and he sprints to the endzone. The last thought on the Heisman voter mind is, where did he go vs LSU?

Georgia star tailback Todd Gurley was suspended indefinitely on Thursday while the school investigates an alleged violation of NCAA rules. The stunning announcement came before the No. 13 Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) face No. 23 Missouri (4-1, 1-0) in a crucial Eastern Division game, a huge blow to both the team and Gurley's Heisman Trophy hopes.
Georgia officials did not reveal the alleged violation. SI.com, citing an anonymous source, reported that the school was investigating whether Gurley was paid $400 to sign 80 pieces of memorabilia on the Georgia campus this past spring.
