Bucky should loan some of these out

A Heisman finalist who ranks in the top 20 of all time rushers probably misses the cut.
Edit: Clement also had a weird career.

Imagine if Gordon and Taylor played 4 seasons. Gordon was not the primary back, until his last season. Kid was amazing.
I went with Taylor here.
-
My order, and probably most’s would be
Taylor
Gordon
Ball
White
Clement
Clement was his best as a sophomore, had some higher usage days that I remembered when he did play as a junior, and was just a grinder/hammer as a senior.
-
I'd go
- Taylor
- Ball
- Gordon
- Clement
- White

Went Gordon won the Doak Walker,almost 5,000 career yds and 7.6 YPC

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.

Have the Badgers ever had a dud starting at RB?
Who is Wisconsin's Lydell Ross?

Good question.
I assume we'll set aside someone that people sort of got tired of. Like, PJ Hill kind of lost his luster that last year, but he still ran for 1,161 yards at 5.1 a carry. We'll also set aside guys that got easily jumped. Taylor was behind two somewhat experienced backs right before his first year, a Pitt transfer and a guy who ran for 450 yards the year prior, but then he went for 1,900. So we'll go with situations where they just didn't have a great guy at the top.
2015: Starter (Clement) had something happen, either concussion or injury. Theoretical backup Taiwan Deal wasn't great, so third-down back Dare Ogunbowale ends up running for 800 so-so yards. The former walk-on was in over his head, and got back to being a nice third-down back the next year.
2003: Started Anthony Davis showed wear from 591 carries his first two years. He was hurt. His backups were so-so, with Dwayne Smith getting 850 and Booker Stanley getting 520 at under 4 a carry. Davis was a little healthier the next year, getting 973 at 4.8 a carry, with Stanley at 115 carries at 3 yards per.
Next worst top back since 1993 was Carl McCullough, who barely got 1,000 at 4.4 carry with three TDs. His backup was Aaron Stecker, a little-used third-down guy, who got squeezed out by Ron Dayne, blew up at Western Illinois and carved out 10 years as an end of the roster NFL guy.
Clement's last year was a little below standard, but he did get 300 carries and 1,375 yards

Which group is the strongest? Have to think this one is a contender. Buckeyes DE and CB have to be up there. Who else?

OSU QBs. UW OL everywhere. MSU DB or OL? UW LBs? Michigan CBs?

All worthy choices. OSU corner might be the pick. They've had seven first round corners drafted this decade

That ... that is a lot

RB U.

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

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
-
RB U.
Maybe O-Line U
-
I went with Taylor as he would be the RB I'd least want to face as a DC

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.
-
Taylor, but Gordon was right on his heels.
