Wisconsin junior tailback Melvin Gordon ranked himself Monday during the Badgers’ weekly news conference, and he gave himself a "D."
Gordon (6-foot-1, 213 pounds) rushed for 1,609 yards and 12 TDs and averaged 7.8 yards per carry last season; through two matches this season, he’s 198 yards and one TD and is averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Those amounts are strong, however they are nowhere near what’s asked of among the very talented backs in the country.
"It Is rough when everyone across the country is expecting one to break a very long one likely every match, and should you not, it is like, ‘Perhaps he is not what we believed he was,’" Gordon told reporters. & quot;But you have got to dismiss it the best you are able to make an effort to move forward and place your best foot forward in another match."
That next game is Saturday against Bowling Green, whose defense has let 374 rushing yards and seven rushing TDs in its two matches against FBS competitions this year. Last week, Indiana tailback Tevin Coleman ran for 190 yards and three TDs from the Falcons.
