Jonathan Taylor has put up video game-like numbers in three games against Nebraska
Jonathan Taylor probably wishes he could always play against Nebraska.
The superstar running back of the Badgers has undoubtedly had one of the most prolific careers in college football history. He is a member of the 5,000-yards rushing club and eclipsed 50 touchdowns for his career on Saturday. Taylor also went over the 200-yard mark in the win against Nebraska.
For his career, Taylor now has now eclipsed 200 yards in a game 11 times. Believe it or not, three of those games have come against the Cornhuskers.

According to statistics shared by Parker Gabriel, Taylor’s lowest output against Nebraska is the 204-yard performance he posted Saturday. His other two outings have gone for 249 yards in 2018 and 221 yards in 2017.
Altogether, Taylor has rushed for 674 yards and seven touchdowns against the Cornhuskers. If that doesn’t sound impressive enough, he has compiled that total on just 74 carries. That means he averaged over 9 yards per carry.
As a junior, odds are good that Taylor will forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. If he does, Nebraska will certainly be among those teams thankful for his departure in 2020.
