Watching Nebraska at Wisconsin AKA Gordon vs Abdullah. Both RBs look good. Gordon is elusive and powerful, I wasn't as high on him as others but he's climbing my ranks. Wish I could watch Gurley more this year.

Who are you watching today?

What does Gurley do that Gordon doesn't? I don't get why Gurley is so far ahead of Gordon.

He plays in the SEC instead of the Big Ten... That's pretty much it.

This was sort of my question. I was honestly saying I wish I could watch more of Gurley to see how he looks. Id be happy with any of the top 5 picks in next year's rookie draft.

Gurley is a lot stronger. Gordon needs holes to run through.

Abdullah with a huge wiff in pass blocking there. That won't help his stock.

Amari Cooper has had a heck of a game.

He hasn't looked great, better in the passing game than rushing. For an offense that's formed around their rushing game (both RB and QB), it's no wonder they let Wisconsin come back.

And Abdullah fumbles. Too many mistakes today.

2 fumbles, 3 blown blitz pickups.. How much of it do you think has to do with him coming off a sprained MCL?

Hard to say. He doesn't seem to be favoring his knee at all, but I haven't paid close enough attention.

I mean, he fumbles. That's just what he does.

Edit: what I'm seeing is a terrible offensive line. He's being asked to break tackles immediately in the backfield and pick up blitzes he shouldn't have to pick up.

He's going to be fun to watch on Sundays.

Ok now I just feel bad for Nebraska. Gordon is just running sprints up and down the field.

Gordon just broke the FBS rushing record. Insane.

Yea I think we can end the Gordon vs Cooper debates for the time being lol
