Though the University of Wisconsin football team has only played one game so far this season, it is pretty clear replacing two-time Doak Walker Award winner and All-American running back Jonathan Taylor is a tall task.
Taylor, who left the Badgers to pursue a career in the National Football League after the 2019-20 college football season, was a second-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts after leading Wisconsin to a 31-10 record during his three seasons in Madison.
Replacing a record-setting running back is something Wisconsin has done in the past with the stars that have come and gone in the backfield for the Badgers, including Ron Dayne, Montee Ball and Melvin Gordon.
