Melvin Gordon, the Wisconsin running back, rushed for 359 yards Saturday … in two quarters. That was one wacky game the Heisman candidate had against Nebraska. Quarter by quarter, how Gordon set the single-season college football rushing record on a snowy Saturday in Madison:
| Quarter | Carries | Yards | Average per rush | TD |
| 1 | 6 | 49 | 8.2 | 0 |
| 2 | 10 | 189 | 18.9 | 1 |
| 3 | 9 | 170 | 18.9 | 3 |
| 4 | - | - | - | - |
| TOTAL | 25 | 408 | 16.3 | 4 |
Three times in 11 weeks this season has an NFL back rushed for at least 170 yards in a game—Rashad Jennings of the Giants (176 in Week 3), Mark Ingram of the Saints (172 in Week 8) and Jonas Gray of the Patriots (199 in Week 11).
Gordon did it twice Saturday, in two separate quarters.
