The last time we saw Melvin Gordon's Wisconsin Badgers in action, they were getting housed by Ohio State, to the tune of 59-0, in the Big Ten championship game.
It was a decisive victory anyway you cut it. Ohio State dropped 558 yards on Wisconsin's then-ranked No. 2 defense. Melvin Gordon was stymied; the Heisman finalist finished with 76 yards on 26 carries (long of 13).
But if the two teams square up again, things would be different... according to Melvin Gordon.
While I would never expect Gordon to say he'd expect to get drubbed by Ohio State again... 59-0 is quite the mountain to climb with brusque language like that.
