The No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (4-0 overall, 2-0 B1G) defeated Northwestern, 24-15, in a hotly contested defensive showdown.
Wisconsin started off the game, as they have every game this season, with a Jonathan Taylor touchdown run. Taylor took the carry into the end zone from 13 yards out, with Wisconsin in the Hippo formation, on fourth and two.
Coming into the game, Northwestern (1-3 overall, 0-2 B1G) was one of only two Big Ten teams to have never allowed Taylor to eclipse the 100-yard rushing mark. As a freshman, Taylor rushed for 80 yards against the Wildcats and he rushed for only 46 yards in last season’s 31-17 loss.
