Jonathan Taylor ran for 205 yards and a touchdown and topped the 2,000-yard mark for the season, helping Wisconsin rout Miami, 35-3, in a chilly Pinstripe Bowl on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium.
Taylor, a sophomore, had runs of 39 and 41 yards, complementing a defense that forced five turnovers and helped Wisconsin (8-5), ranked fourth in the first Associated Press Top 25 poll of the season, salvage its fifth straight bowl victory.
The loss had to seem like a rerun for Miami: Taylor ran for 130 yards in Wisconsin’s 34-24 victory over the Hurricanes last season in the Orange Bowl.
