Well, that game went according to plan for the Badgers!

Wisconsin entered Saturday’s highly anticipated game as slight favorites over Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan team. But in the showdown of top-15 teams, the Badgers rolled to a huge win.

Wisconsin rolled to an easy 35-14 win that saw Chryst and company take a 28-0 lead into halftime. A big reason, unsurprisingly, was the work of running back Jonathan Taylor. He finished with 203 rushing yards and two first-half touchdowns to cement the Badgers to an early lead.

When discussing Taylor, Chryst said it’s no surprise the Badgers are better with him on the field:

An underrated but still vital part of the offense was quarterback Jack Coan. He went 13-for-16 passing with 128 yards but without a touchdown. He did add two touchdowns on the ground in the win, and Chryst said he loves how the young QB competes:
