It would be Wisconsin's second best win in the past five seasons behind No. 1 Ohio State in 2010.
And it wouldn't hit the register for us.... that should tell you something.
And for LSU fans on Gordon. He is a smooth and fast runner - but there is some revisionist history going on here.
He started like a mofo... particularly the jet sweep play. He was the backbone of my fantasy team so I saw basically every carry.
4 of his last 5 regular season games, he was held under 100 yards (luckily Indiana was in there to get the 1). Yes the Badger fans will like to point out he was a backup for those games - yeah he was... he was the leader rusher for the first 7 weeks each week until reality set in.
That horrific OSU defense shut that running game down and PSU did much the same. 4 of the next 5 he was the clear ineffective RB (and thus his carries. Over the first 6 games, he averaged more carries than White. Last 6, the coaches consciously switched to White given him a full 5 more carries a game.
Again, solid running back but the spin on him on this board has been getting a little crazy.

I doubt this.
Why?

Because neither team actually shut down the run game. Wisconsin was forced to abandon it due to playing from behind. There is a reason those were the two games Joel Stave threw the most balls in his career. There is a reason Jared Abbrederis had 200+ receiving yards against Ohio State.
Each game had absolutely nothing to do with "[shutting] that run game down."
