Big Ten Football’s Best Running Backs

Corey Clement – Wisconsin

Jim O’Haren – USA TODAY Sports

Corey Clement may be Melvin Gordon’s back up at Wisconsin, but that he hasn’t surpassed Gordon on the depth chart speaks volumes about the Badgers’ starter.

Clement actually out-rushed Gordon in the Badgers’ most recent effort against Rutgers, and he did it with fewer attempts.

The Glassboro, NJ native averaged 9.4 yards a carry in the contest.  He’s just a sophomore, so if Gordon declares for the draft this year it looks as the the Badger will still be prolific on the ground in 2015.

Same song, different verse for the Wisconsin’s run game we’ve all come to expect excellence from by now.
