CAMP RANDALL,<br />
MADISON<br />
Last Saturday<br />
afternoon the<br />
pregame buzz<br />
in Madison was<br />
mostly about<br />
pulled pork, cheddar brats, cheese<br />
curds and sausage. But after the<br />
59–24 defeat of the Cornhuskers,<br />
Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon (25) had<br />
become the talk of the nation. The<br />
6' 1" junior running back needed just<br />
25 carries to set a new FBS singlegame<br />
rushing record, with 408 yards.<br />
The Badgers’ line opened holes so wide<br />
that a fat man selling cheese curds<br />
could walk through them, allowing<br />
Gordon to average 16.3 yards per<br />
carry, score four touchdowns and<br />
not even play in the fourth quarter.<br />
As snow started to fall, the line kept<br />
playing, lumbering around the field and<br />
looking for things to flatten.
