Montee Ball, Wisconsin
Ball was absolutely stellar for the Badgers this season. He rushed for 1759 yards on the season and scored 32 TDs on the ground. What makes his numbers even more amazing is that he caught 20 passes for 255 yards and 6 more scores, giving him 38 TDs on the season for a non-QB. Ball had 275 carries on the season, and averaged 6.4 yards per carry, while averaging 135.31 yards per game rushing, which was good for 3rd nationally.
Congratulations to Montee Ball, and to the Wisconsin Badgers!
