you're right--the post asked is if he is as good "as they say"…I'm saying he's very good.


a)Melvin didn't play most of second half vs ohio st. none of the 4th quarter due to injury. typically, teams with power running games do better in second half as defense is worn down.

b)what's the excuse for LSU's mighty defense getting Bo Wallace's balls rubbed on their face???

Super young secondary and Bro Wallace is the best returning QB in the SEC? That same defense shut down Johnny Manziel and held A&M to 10 points.

He had six of the 8 rushes in the 3rd quarter including the last play of the quarter. Not sure what the definition of 'most' is in your universe ....

Which would explain why you ran 80% of the time in the 3rd quarter (and still failed)

I don't make excuses. It is what it is. I will save the excuses for you like above.

And yes Gordon is very good. But he faded in the second half of the season when the jet sweep gimmick got figured. He couldn't pass block for the life of himself and given he has 3 career receptions was not considered worthy of participation in that part of the game.

Now is your cue to roll out the next wave of excuses:

You badgers are out of control with the vulgarity, Bo Wallace's balls, they are small testicles, have some common courtesy

We're talking about rushing. Ole Miss rushed for 175 yds. It was the passing game that got us. Mett threw 3 terrible INT's.

And beat us on FG as time expired. In their house.

LSU's run D was ranked somewhere around 40th last year

Your guy averaged around 134ypg agains an run defense average of 64tg

To compare, Jeremy Hill averaged 115 ypg agains an average of around 49th run defense. ( one game he only had 6 touches for 50 yards)

Of course, that was all last year but its fun to look at comparable results. If you like you can check out how Jeremy Hill did VS Iowa compared to what ya'll stud did.

After watching some highlights it's obviouse the boy is fast. He can get to the corners and wins the races. Will be interesting to see if he has the speed to do this against LSU. He's also fast enough that the Wisc O-line doesnt need to open up holes long before he is through them but he def needs holes because he isn't breaking many tackles

Will be the most intriguing matchup to watch and hopefully LSU doesn't let him break any big ones
