MADISON, Wis. -- After Melvin Gordon fumbled on his first carry, teammate Corey Clement gave him a fist bump on the sideline and told his fellow Wisconsin running back to shake off the mistake. It turned out to be the start of record-setting day for the 19th-ranked Badgers. Gordon rushed for career highs of 253 yards and five touchdowns, and Wisconsin ran for a Big Ten-record 644 yards to trample Bowling Green in a 68-17 victory Saturday. Gordon had 179 yards and four scores by halftime alone before dashing for a 69-yard touchdown on his first carry of the second half. He silenced any doubters worried about his 38-yard outing the previous game. "I was motivated. I heard a lot of people doubting me saying I cant do this, I cant do that," he said. "That definitely motivated me to get out there and do what I needed to do." The junior tailback brushed aside a question about whether hes back in the discussion for the Heisman Trophy. The Badgers, though, put an emphatic end to talk about their running game being off track after getting slowed two weeks ago by lower division Western Illinois. "The unselfishness of Melvin Gordon ... as weve gone through the first part of the season has been incredible. Im so proud of the way hes handled it. And today was his day," coach Gary Andersen said. The Badgers (2-1) forced turnovers on back-to-back possessions by the Falcons (2-2) in the first half to break open a close game. Gordon capitalized each time with scores before closing the half with a 21-yard touchdown run for the highlight reel. On that play, Gordon broke two tackles, sidestepped another Falcon and outraced yet another defender into the front corner of the end zone to make it 41-10 at halftime. And to think Gordons day started with a fumble on his first carry -- the first of his career after 322 attempts. Clement started the next series. When asked, Andersen said he gave no thought to sitting Gordon. On the sideline before the drive, Clement offered words of encouragement. "I really just told him to keep his head up. I just gave him a fist-pound, told him we still had a whole game left to play. Dont let that weigh on you," Clement said. The only drama left in the second half was whether Gordon would eclipse the schools single-game rushing record of 339 set by Ron Dayne in 1996. But the juniors day ended after his 13th carry with about 12 minutes to go in the third quarter. "Theres a shiftiness about him," Bowling Green coach Dino Babers said. "He has breakaway speed. I saw two or three stiff arms, like hes stiff-arming kids like he was playing in a Pop Warner game." Clement finished with 111 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 16 carries, while quarterback Tanner McEvoy had 158 yards rushing on 11 attempts before departing late in the third quarter with Wisconsin leading by 52. Among the marks set or tied by Wisconsin: --The team rushing total was the most in the Big Tens modern era, dating back to 1946. --Gordon became the sixth Badger to score five touchdowns in a game, and the first since P.J. Hill in 2007. --Gordons 19.5 yards per carry set a record for a Badger with at least 10 attempts. Fresh off a bye week, the Badgers put together a dominating, all-around performance to squash Bowling Greens hopes for a second straight victory against a Big Ten team. The Falcons beat Indiana last week behind a fast-paced offence that ran a dizzying 113 plays. Two Wisconsin fumbles in the first half and terrific play by Bowling Green receivers had the visitors dreaming briefly about an upset. A 28-yard field goal by Tyler Tate cut Wisconsins lead to 14-10 with 1:01 left in the first quarter. Bowling Green had Wisconsin defenders on their heels again driving to the 8 early in the second quarter to answer a Wisconsin touchdown. But James Knapkes third-down pass was tipped and intercepted in the end zone by Lubern Figaro, who returned it 43 yards. The Badgers were off to the races from there. "We could have tackled a lot better. Im not going to say that would change everything in the game because Wisconsin is a good football team. But I think our lack of tackling did not help us at all," Bowling Green linebacker Gabe Martin said. Fred Coppet had a 35-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for Bowling Green.

This was Game 3 of their playoff series and that wasnt the only strange incident in Londons 10-2 win over Windsor.Paradise Island, Bahamas - Andrew Wiggins and the Kansas Jayhawks will try to salvage some success in the third place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. The second-ranked Jayhawks will play the Miners of Texas-El Paso at Imperial Arena in the Bahamas. The game can be seen live on TSN2 starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. Wiggins, the heralded freshman who is expected to be one-and-done at the college level, leads the team in scoring with 15.7 ppg and is also one of the better rebounders for the group with 5.3 per contest. The Jayhawks had defeated four straight opponents by double figures to open the 2013-14 campaign, but the team was brought back to reality when it landed on Paradise Island for a Thanksgiving meeting with Wake Forest. Granted, Kansas was still able to come away with the victory, but the scoring margin shrank to only nine points (87-78). On Friday, the Jayhawks were held below 80 points for the first time, bowing to an upstart Villanova program by a final of 63-59. Kansas led by as many as nine points in the first half against Villanova last night, but the Jayhawks ended up shooting only 6-of-25 from the floor, including 1-of-6 beyond the arc in the period, en route to a 29-22 deficit at the break and an eventual four-point setback. Overall, Kansas knocked down only 38.9 percent from the field and 2-of-11 out on the perimeter, not to mention 15-of-25 at the free-throw line. Frank Mason led the scoring with 12 points off the bench, followed by Perry Ellis with 11 and both Wiggins and Joel Embiid with 10 points as the team suffered 16 turnovers, which the Wildcats exchanged for 22 points. Ellis checks in with 14.5 ppg as he shoots close to 60 percent from the fieeld for a group that is hitting on an impressive 52.dddddddddddd0 percent overall, compared to just 41.9 percent for the competition. However, for a program that is producing 82.3 ppg, making less than five triples per game is rather surprising. As for the Miners, they were just 3-2 upon their arrival in the Bahamas so they werent expected to do very much against some superior competition. However, UTEP pulled off a 78-70 win versus Tennessee on Thursday, before taking an 89-53 fall against 23rd-ranked Iowa Yesterday. Believe it or not, the Miners lead the all-time series with Kansas by a count of 3-0, with one of those victories taking place in the 1966 NCAA Midwest Region Finals in Lubbock, Texas. Most recently, UTEP posted a 66-60 victory in the 1992 NCAA Midwest Sub-Regional in Dayton, Ohio. UTEP fell behind almost immediately against the Hawkeyes, trailing by as many as 38 points in the second half as the Miners shot only 34.6 percent from the field and 5-of-22 behind the 3-point line. Julian Washburn was the lone double-digit scorer for the Miners with his 13 points, stemming from 4-of-14 shooting from the floor. The other four starters combined to hit on just 6- of-22 attempts for a collective 16 points. One of those starters to come up small was McKenzie Moore who, after seven games, of which he has appeared in six and started five, is the leading scorer with 13.3 ppg. A major contributor both on the glass (4.7 rpg) and in the passing department (16 assists), Moore is shooting 90.5 percent at the free- throw line for a unit that has knocked down only 67.7 percent at the charity stripe. Washburn (11.0 ppg) is getting his points based on only 39.5 percent accuracy from the floor. ' ' '
