Luke Fickell made it clear in February that the University of Wisconsin football program would likely be without the Badgers’ projected starting running back, Chez Mellusi when spring practice began.
During a radio appearance, Fickell stated that Mellusi “won’t get a big load, if any load, in the spring” while he recovered from a broken leg suffered against Purdue on the road last September.
However, several reporters on hand for practice conveyed that Mellusi rotated in with the Badgers’ first team — and got plenty of work at that.
