Waking up the offense and fans at Camp Randall
Chez Mellusi with a ridiculous 89-yard rushing touchdown to give Wisconsin a huge spark. Cut through the entire Buffalo defense on the way to the end zone. He's been fantastic today.

Enters his name into the record books
Hello, Chez Mellusi. Breaks off the 4th longest run in school history. Goes in from 89 yards out.

Defies all logic and reason for the score
So how much does a healthy Chez Mellusi help? He just avoided 237 tacklers on his way to an 89-yard TD.
