5. Wisconsin Badgers 

Wisconsin has a rich history of running backs and and are always going to boast one of the best offensive lines in the country.

Freshman Jalen Berger looks like he may be the next great Badger back, after he ran for 301 yards and two touchdowns last season in only four games. The New Jersey native is six-foot and 220 pounds and looks a whole lot like a young Melvin Gordon, a former Wisconsin great.

Berger will share the backfield a bit with Nakia Watson who rushed for 191 yards and three scores himself last season. These two will form a formidable duo for the Badgers, but the lack of tape from last season lands them behind some other Big Ten foes on this list.

Penn State Football will get a heavy dose of the Wisconsin running game in week 1 of 2021.
