MADISON — Jonathan Taylor found out from position coach John Settle that he would be starting if some particular personnel were called to begin the game.
A true freshman running back, playing in only his second collegiate game after performing very well in his debut a week prior, would be thrust into an even more prominent position due to redshirt sophomore Bradrick Shaw’s right leg injury.
“I was just making sure I was ready,” Taylor said. “I knew that if we went 21 or 12 [personnel], that they were going to need me to step up, so that was my main focus going into this game, making sure I stepped up.
