One of college football’s top running backs has earned some national recognition following an explosive performance this weekend.

Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor was named the Rose Bowl Player of the Week after gashing Nebraska’s defense on Saturday. The sophomore finished with 221 yards and three touchdowns in the Badgers’ 41-24 win over the Huskers.

He also had an 88-yard touchdown run in the game.

Taylor is the B1G’s leading rusher this season, recording 849 yards and eight touchdowns through five games. He leads the conference in both categories.

The sophomore has been the engine behind Wisconsin’s rushing attack this fall. The Badgers average 287 yards on the ground this season, ranking first in the B1G and fourth nationally. They’ve also scored 14 touchdowns via the run, good enough for top 25 in the country.

Wisconsin and Taylor will be tested this weekend, traveling to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan. The Badgers will need another big performance from their star back to get the victory and stay in the CFB Playoff hunt.
