Jonathan Taylor has been held under 120 yards 5 times this year. In their regular season loss to tOSU the Buckeyes limited him to 20-52.
He's a GREAT back. Over 6000 career yards. Leading scorer in Division 1. Balance, explosiveness and power. A tackle-breaking machine.
But an athletic, pursuing defense that tackles well can slow him down.
It would help the Ducks immeasurably to get out to a lead and force the Badgers to pass more.
Jack Sloan is accurate and smart, but more than a third of his passing yards go to Quintez Cephus. It's a very unbalanced aerial attack and Lenoir and Graham should match up well.
The UW o-line is powerful but not especially agile in their footwork. They can be beat with quickness. KT and Mase/Young/Faoliu may be able to create some havoc off the edge.
Still, the Big Ten West champs are disciplined and cohesive. This shapes up to be a tough, four quarter ball game.
Wisconsin's kicker is 12-18 this year on field goals.
