All you Barry Sanders disciples better be voting for Gordon here...

It's unreal that Taylor won two Doaks, ran for 6,174 and was 0.9 YPC less.

Shoot, when he was getting significant carries, Melvin was 7.8 and 7.5.

Taylor went 6.6, 7.1, 6.3. Just a fun decade.
Thanx I stopped at 7.6 YPC for Melvin,knew Taylor's numbers were good escaped me he won the Doak in '18.But figured avoid group think here and 7.6 still > 6.7

I went with Taylor as he would be the RB I'd least want to face as a DC

Have the Badgers ever had a dud starting at RB?

Who is Wisconsin's Lydell Ross?
Carl McCullough. He was highly rated and didn't live up to it. One could also make an argument for John Clay, but he was pretty productive. Not 5* productive, but still pretty good.

Nah.

Not because I was a Barry Sanders disciple but because I don't find the comparison all that apt.

It's very Wisconsin that the black sheep still had 1,200 yards from scrimmage. Granted he was behind two beasts as a freshman and eventually lapped by Dayne

The John Clay thing, that's a hard sell. Here's his run:
Backup who got 880 yards and 9 TDs
BTOPOY with 1,500 and 18 TDs 
In his first eight mostly healthy games, got 887 yards and 13 TDs, played bits of three more to get to 1,000 around and ankle and knee

His BTPOY was probably one of the weaker ones, but Clay, kinda like PJ Hill, is a lesson in timing. Flip those last two years, and it feels a whole lot better (Hill was most productive at the start, but his low ceiling left some tired by the end).

Went with Gordon for his lack of fumblitis.
