The Wisconsin Badgers faced some significant news this week, as top running back Chez Mellusi is stepping away from the team to rehab his injuries, according to a statement from the team.
Mellusi, a sixth-year senior, had led the Badgers in rushing heading into Week 6, but his body hadn’t responded the way he expected, according to the statement, leading him to make the big decision.
What should we make of Mellusi’s decision and how will the backfield shape out without him?
Mellusi’s decision
The choice from the running back was obviously a shocker, as Mellusi had been a significant part of the game plan in all four games for Wisconsin, but it was one that he seemingly felt was best for him at this time.
