Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor tops 5,000 yards in shocking loss to Illinois

It wasn’t all bad for Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon as their Heisman contending running back Jonathan Taylor surpassed 5,000 yards for his illustrious career.

Unfortunately, the milestone will be overshadowed by a shocking 24-23 to Illinois. Taylor also lost a key fumble in Illinois territory late in the fourth quarter that helped fuel the comeback and ultimate upset.

Despite the loss, Taylor had a big day as he carried the ball 28 times for 132 yards.

The Badgers have no time to sit and sulk as a trip to Ohio State is on the cards for next week.
