MADISON — It took only seven games for true freshman Jonathan Taylor to etch his name into the record books among college football’s best.
On his third carry in the first quarter of the Wisconsin Badgers’ 38-13 win over the Maryland Terrapins, Taylor went over the 1,000-rushing yard mark on the season, matching the FBS freshman record for the fewest games to reach that milestone.
“At the moment in the game, I probably didn’t know when I got it,” Taylor said. “I mean I’m pretty sure I got it and then thought about it later, but I was just focused on the game and now probably think about it afterwards.
