Heisman Watch ‘18: Grier and Taylor Keep Pace

Taylor set a personal best with 253 yards on 33 rushes. Taylor has to be considered the favorite right now given that Wisconsin is going to likely win their division and play for a conference title. The Wisconsin offensive line will make sure Taylor gets his yards. With his big game, Taylor is now on pace for Barry Sanders 1988 NCAA record setting season of 2,628 yards rushing. Assuming Taylor plays in a conference title game and a bowl game (14 total) he would break Sanders’ record with 2,786 yards

Season stats: 51 rushes, 398 yards, 5 touchdowns.
