How Badgers “inseparable” RB duo Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi co-exist

The Wisconsin Badgers cruised to a 38-17 victory against the Buffalo Bulls after a slow start, thanks to running backs Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi, who saw significant volume and made the most of their opportunities to bring their team back.

Allen, seen as a top running back in the nation in 2023, rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries.

Mellusi, on the other hand, saw 13 carries, to which he rushed for 157 yards, a career-high, and two touchdowns, including an 89-yard score, a career-high as well.

With the number of weapons in Wisconsin’s offense, as well as the value of both running backs, how are the Badgers’ duo able to co-exist successfully?
