The perennial excellence of Wisconsin running backs will not stop when Clement carries the load. Last season, he backed up Melvin Gordon, who racked up an absurd 2,587 yards on the season. Guess what? Clement tallied 949 yards and nine touchdowns as the second-stringer. Yes, Clement nearly reached the century mark—wait for it—as the backup! The junior must face a stingy Alabama defense in primetime, but behind a stout Badgers offensive line, Clement will make his presence felt during his first game as a full-time starter.
