WATCH: Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor takes it to the house on 75-yard run
Published:
Stopping Jonathan Taylor is really difficult. The freshman running back proved that again in Lincoln.
Immediately after Nebraska scored on an 80-yard pass play from Tanner Lee to Stanley Morgan, Taylor and Wisconsin answered, as the freshman ball-carrier took a handoff 75 yards for a touchdown.
And he made it look so, so easy.
Every week, this freshman proves why he's special.

Heading into Saturday’s game, Taylor led the B1G in average rushing yardage per game and had seven touchdowns. Yes, all that as a freshman.
Incredible.
Thanks to Taylor, the Badgers took a 17-10 lead into half over Nebraska.
