re: Statistics: Why LSU will beat Wisconsin: A response to Wisc Trolls

Gordon is a Heisman Candidate......
But how did he get his yards last year???

Against the cupcakes.

The teams I would look to for having a decent to good defense on Wisconsin's schedule last year are:
OHIO STATE, IOWA, PENN ST & MINNESOTA.

Here are the rather pedestrian results by Gordon in those games:
OHIO STATE 79 yards 0 TD's
PENN STATE 91 yards 0 TD's
IOWA 68 yards 0 TD's
MINNESOTA 75 yards 0 TD's

But, he shredded Umass, Tenn Tech, Arizona St, Northwestern, Illinois and Indiana.

LSU would have a Heisman candidate every year too!! But we just play many more top-ranked teams and much, much better defenses.

Gordon is in a perfect program and conference to really grind out some great games this coming season. But in games against decent to good defenses, he was sub-par to decent.

I will say this......if he shreds LSU and delivers victory to the Badgers, he will be the shoe-in for Heisman.

But, I think our D will surprise you. Ask Iowa.
In fact, your Heisman candidate got 68 yards against Iowa. Our back got 217 yards against the same team in the bowl game.

Do these statistics not make you nervous? Less confident? They should
