Gordon has been shredding Nebraska's defense all afternoon and broke the record on a 26-yard touchdown run at the end of the third quarter to put the Badgers up 52-17.
The previous record for rushing yards in a game was set by TCU running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who in 1999 ran for 406 yards against Texas-El Paso.
