Postgame Notes
Wisconsin at Iowa
Nov. 22, 2104
Iowa City, Iowa - Kinnick Stadium

TEAM NOTES
•    Today's captains were seniors Sam Arneson, Rob Havenstein and Derek Landisch and junior Michael Caputo.
•    UW has won three straight games at Kinnick Stadium, its longest winning streak in Iowa City since the Badgers won four-straight from 1907-1928.
•    Wisconsin has rushed for at least 200 yards in 10 games this season. That ties last year's total.
•    UW held an opponent to 101 yards rushing or less for the seventh time this season--the most since 2009 when the Badgers did not allow more than 101 yards in 11 games.

PLAYER NOTES
•    Junior RB Melvin Gordon's 88-yard run in the third quarter was the longest of his career. He had an 80-yard run last year at Arizona State. That run put him over 2,000 yards for the season, on his 241st carry of the season. That is the fewest carries for a running back to get to 2,000 yards in FBS history. The previous record-holder was Penn State's Larry Johnson, who reached 2,000 yards on 251 carries in 2002.
•    Gordon is the 17th player in FBS history to run for at least 2,000 yards in a season. His season total of 2,109 ranks 10th in FBS history. That is tied with Ron Dayne's 1996 total for the Big Ten and school record.
•    Gordon has run for at least 120 yards in 10 of the Badgers' 11 games this season, including nine in a row. He now has 20 career 100-yard rushing games, tied with P.J. Hill for the fourth-most in school history.
•    Gordon has scored a touchdown in every game this season and leads the FBS with 27 TDs this season. It's the sixth-straight game Gordon has scored at least two TDs. That is the second-best single-season total in Big Ten history, trailing only Montee Ball 39 TDs in 2011.
•    Gordon added a career-high 64 yards receiving on four catches.
•    Junior QB Tanner McEvoy broke off a 45-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. It was his third run of at least 40 yards this season and the third-longest run of his career. Wisconsin now has 23 runs of 40 or more yards this season.
•    Junior S Michael Caputo forced and recovered a fumble on Iowa's first possession. It was Caputo's third fumble recovery of the season and his first career forced fumble. He added a team-high 11 tackles.
•    Freshman K Rafael Gaglianone made a 50-yard field goal on the Badgers' first possession. It was his second FG of at least 50 yards this season (he made a 51-yarder in the season opener against LSU). He joins Taylor Mehlhaff (2006) and Philip Welch (2009) as the only UW players to make multiple 50-yard field goals in the same season. Gaglianone added a 22-yard field goal in the 3rd quarter to for his 10th consecutive make.
•    Fifth-year senior S Peniel Jean made a career-high seven tackles.
•    Sophomore N Arthur Goldberg tied a career-high with five tackles.
