I know its Bowling Green but this kid has good feet & great vision. I can appreciate it now since he's not running against LSU.

Full package. Speed, power, vision, balance. He looks damn good, first round talent.

I'm interested to see where he goes in the draft. He doesn't catch passes and I wonder how much of his not playing in the 2nd half of the LSU game had to do with his pass blocking. You can't go that high being a 2 down RB.

I think late first just based on his talent with the ball in his hands.

Reminds me of Jamaal Charles when he runs. Except Gordon is way better than JC was in college.

ETA: glad this kid will be gone before Bama plays Wisconsin next year.

I know it's Bowling Green, but some of those TD runs were ridiculous. No wasted steps, almost at full speed when he hits the hole, great balance, and power to break tackles.

But our passing game still sucks balls.

Not sure if I understand this. Why would Wisconsin be concerned about his pass blocking? They were up 24-7.

Why would they need him to catch passes when they were ahead in the game at that point?

He sustained a hip pointer in the first half, that's why he was so limited in the second. That came out after the game from Andersen.

Didn't seem to bother him too much on his first 2nd half carry
