The polar opposite of Oregon’s high octane offense is Wisconsin’s hard-nosed rushing attack, which not surprisingly has been very effective in producing high-level running backs. Melvin Gordon and Montee Ball both dominated college football, and while their NFL success is still a work in progress, their accomplishments in Madison can’t be denied.
Gordon finished second in the Heisman voting in 2014 after being the second leading rusher in the country. This led to his first-round selection in the 2015 Draft. He followed Ball, who led the nation in rushing yards in 2011 and was third in 2012 en route to a second-round selection. Corey Clement has yet to reach those levels in Madison for the current Badgers, but expectations are high for him in 2016.
