In 35 collegiate games, Jonathan Taylor has run for over 100 yards 29 times and for well over 5000 total yards rushing. That puts him 5th all-time in the Big Ten, and he could easily end up second before the end of the season. He is the quintessential Wisconsin running back, carrying his offense while a caretaker quarterback generally just hands off to him and thanks the ghost of Ron Dayne that he has a tailback to make him look a whole hell of a lot better than he actually is.
This system has been Wisconsin's M.O. since the beginning of time, and as far as the Badgers are concerned since the Barry Alvarez days, it's been pretty successful.
