Breakdown: Consider this game Taylor’s true breakout performance of his exceptional freshman season.
Sure, he’d put up 223 yards and three touchdowns at home against Florida Atlantic three weeks prior, but in his first road game against a Big Ten opponent, Taylor was masterful.
He answered a long touchdown pass from the Cornhuskers with a 75-yard scoring run late in the second quarter.
