Notes: Defensive dam breaks; Spielman sets records; Lee, Jackson rotate at corner

Jonathan Taylor, like he did last season in Lincoln, was the hammer on the final blow, his 88-yard sprint through the middle of Nebraska's defense early in the fourth quarter Saturday effectively putting away a game that weirdly still didn't feel out of reach for the Huskers.

The jaunt made it 41-17. It was the longest run of Taylor's career, eclipsing a 75-yarder against the Huskers in 2017. His 221 yards on 24 carries marked the fifth time a Wisconsin running back has run for more than 200 yards against a Nebraska defense.

This wasn't the same Wisconsin domination as last year, when the Badgers ran the ball 22 straight times and on 30 of their final 32 plays to end the game, but it certainly looked familiar.
