per FSN:
Even as a high schooler, Cameron Botticelli knew Melvin Gordon was special.
Botticelli, the Gophers senior defensive tackle, was on the Marquette University High School defense that tried to slow down Gordon and the Kenosha Bradford offense years ago. It wasn't easy to do then -- even though Botticelli and Marquette emerged victorious -- and it's gotten even harder now as Gordon, now a star running back at Wisconsin, has emerged as one of the Heisman Trophy frontrunners.
"He's got tremendous speed. He had tremendous speed in high school. He has tremendous speed now," Botticelli said of Gordon, whom Minnesota will try to limit on Saturday in Madison. "We had a tough time containing him on my high school team. We're going to put in a lot of hard work this week to contain him as well."
