The Wisconsin Badgers will have a different look at running back on Saturday when they play the Purdue Boilermakers, as Chez Mellusi is no longer with the program, having left to rehab some of his injuries.

Mellusi, who was Wisconsin’s leading rusher, had seen his role cut against the USC Trojans, where he played just 15 snaps, ceding the way to Tawee Walker, who had 12 carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns.

With Mellusi now leaving the program, it’s on Walker to take the next step and become the No. 1 for the Badgers going forward.
