Badgers’ Luke Fickell on Chez Mellusi: He’s “the heart and soul” of things we do

The Wisconsin Badgers comfortably defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 38-17 to start Big Ten play with a win, improving to 3-1 on the season, but all wasn't good news, as running back Chez Mellusi suffered a gruesome injury in the fourth quarter on a carry that required him to be carted off.

Mellusi, who has rushed for 307 yards on 51 carries for the season, was greeted by his teammates as he left the field in an emotional moment that could have season-ending repercussions.
