Through five games, the Wisconsin Badgers’ leading rusher is senior Corey Clement, who is 681 yards away from a 1,000-yard season, which would be the 30th in program history.
UW’s last thousand-yard season was turned in by Melvin Gordon, who rushed for 2,587 yards in 2014, a single-season school record.
This was the final season, in a stretch of 10 consecutive from 2005-14, with at least one Badger rushing for at least 1,000 yards. Wisconsin had another such stretch of 10 seasons from 1993-2002.
Of Wisconsin’s 29 thousand-yard rushing seasons, 22 have occurred since 1993, when Brent Moss amassed 1,637 yards.
