MADISON, Wis. -- Two impactful running backs likely will share the spotlight on Saturday when No. 10 Wisconsin hosts Northwestern in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams at Camp Randall Stadium.
The Badgers (3-0) and Wildcats (2-1), who are West Division foes, won games leading up to byes last weekend.
The outcome of the game could boil down to how defenses contain Badgers freshman running back Jonathan Taylor and Wildcats senior running back Justin Jackson.
Taylor was listed as the sole starter on the Badgers depth chart released Monday. Junior Chris James and sophomore Bradrick Shaw were listed as second-team players.
