So is this Wisky RB as good as they say?

I have read that he moves better in open field than anyone in CFB. Is he that good because of Big 10 competition or is he that good?

I just spoke recently with one of the Wisconsin assistant coaches. He said that, although Gordon wouldn't start at LSU, the kid has a lot of heart. Take that fwiw.

Averaged 7.8 yards a carry last year for 1609 yards. I don't care which Big 5 conference you're in, that's damn strong. He's legit.

He's a legit back, but he's more of a bounce it to the outside rather than up the middle type of back. Our defense is meant for that though. He'll be fed the ball a lot so he may see 100 yards by the end of the game.

Gordon is pretty smooth out there. He moves faster than he looks most times. UW fans feel his is probably our most talented back ever. His calling card has been the jet sweep. Be interested to see how he is used this year. The backup Corey Clement is a tough back- and might surprise folks outside of Wisconsin.
MG vs Arizona State
Here is his game vs Arizona State last year. Maybe a good preview for Saturday? ASU was 26th in rush D last year, LSU 35th. ASU is pretty fast and plays in a good league if you don't feel the B1G is any good.

He's good........but he won't win the game.

He is really good. South Carolina's D was well-respected last year he went for 143 on 20-some carries vs the Cocks.
LSU probably be best D he's seen though.
what makes him different in my opinion, is when there is a hole, he typically is long-striding through it and it seems like the LB's and DB's get strange angles because he is at top-end speed at the line of scrimmage

Not at good as the Wisky fans say. He has a solid habit of disappearing in big games, and racking up yards on Purdue and UMass

If he gets 100 yards its because he ran the ball 25 times. The RB is really good, but you have to keep in mind that they also run 6'6 and 321 across the front which can wear you down over time.
If he tries to run outside the tackles it is going to be a very long day for Wisconsin. He doesn't have the speed to consistently get the edge on our defense

his backup Corey Clement #6 is legit…he'd fit good with the traditional LSU backs. 5'11 220ish, bulky no nonsense runner

OVER-RATED clap clap. clap clap clap.

We are going to find out in a little less than 4 days. I can see Wisconsonin running right up the Tiger middle or at least giving the ole college try anyway...

Definitely good in Big 10, most likely would not do well in SEC, Him being in Big 10 makes him look good. Put an SEC RB in Big 10 and they would look like an NFL veteran.
