Logs two TDs versus South Dakota Mellusi accrued 16 rushes for 60 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in 1 of 2 targets for two yards during Saturday's 27-13 win over South Dakota. Impact Mellusi didn't find many easy rushing lanes against South Dakota, as his yards per carry fell slightly from Week 1 to Week 2. The sixth-year senior still broke into the end zone on carries of nine and one yard for the Badgers' first and final touchdowns Saturday, respectively. This opening touchdown actually wound up being his longest carry of the game, and it's somewhat concerning that his longest carry through the first two weeks of the season was an 11-yard rush in the season opener versus Western Michigan. Meanwhile backup running back Cade Yacamelli provided some more juice with eight carries for 73 yards, as he filled in for No. 2 running back Tawee Walker, who sat out with an undisclosed injury. Through two games, Mellusi has logged 35 carries for 134 yards. He and the rest of Wisconsin's rushing offense will face what is likely one of their toughest tests of the season when Alabama travels to Camp Randall on Saturday, Sept. 14.
