Melvin Gordon Trucked a Dude on a Touchdown Reception

Melvin Gordon has been largely stopped on the ground, rushing 17 times for 38 yards thus far in Wisconsin’s game versus Western Illinois today. Nevertheless, he did show some power on this eight-yard touchdown catch-and-run, refusing to let defensive back Dallas Nichols stand in his way.

The hero for the Badgers has actually been … Tanner McEvoy, who had a rough start with an early interception today, but eventually hit a groove. On the day so far, he’s 23-28 passing for 283 yards and 3 touchdowns, with an additional touchdown run. Alex Erickson and Sam Arneson have both had solid receiving days.
