The last time we saw Melvin Gordon's Wisconsin Badgers in action, they were getting housed by Ohio State, to the tune of 59-0, in the Big Ten championship game.
It was a decisive victory anyway you cut it. Ohio State dropped 558 yards on Wisconsin's then-ranked No. 2 defense. Melvin Gordon was stymied; the Heisman finalist finished with 76 yards on 26 carries (long of 13).
But if the two teams square up again, things would be different... according to Melvin Gordon.
Melvin Gordon was asked if OSU game would be different if teams played again: "A lot different. I promise you that." He said UW would win.

While I would never expect Gordon to say he'd expect to get drubbed by Ohio State again... 59-0 is quite the mountain to climb with brusque language like that.
