The Wisconsin Badgers disappointed this season after going 13-1 with an Orange Bowl victory last year, but the performance of running back Jonathan Taylor was a silver lining.

Taylor won the 2018 Doak Walker award Thursday as the most outstanding running back in the country. The Wisconsin back defeated fellow finalists Darrell Henderson from Memphis and Travis Etienne from Clemson.
