Well while Gordon lost one record he was able to break another today.
Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon had his fifth 200-yard game of the season and his third in a row Saturday, helping the Badgers down Iowa, 26-24. In the process, Gordon became the fastest in FBS history to reach the 2,000-yard plateau.
Gordon had 200 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries Saturday and reached the 2,000-yard mark on his 241st carry of the season; the previous record was held by Penn State’s Larry Johnson, who reached 2,000 yards on his 251st carry in 2002.
