Taylor is a great college runner and the Wisconsin o-line is always good, although I believe they lost a few starters off last year's group.
That being said, Taylor and their o-line — good as they clearly are — were no match for the Gophers last season.
From ESPN's B1G West preview:
"In terms of turnover, the biggest questions come in units Wisconsin usually owns. The Badgers have to replace four starting offensive linemen, including two All-American guards (Michael Deiter and Beau Benzschawel) and 2017 All-American tackle David Edwards. This is Wisconsin, so there's no shortage of large, cornfed beasts, but the experience level is down a couple of pegs.
The Badgers also lose their top three TFL leaders, all linebackers. The line is more experienced, but OLB Zack Baun is the only known playmaker in the front seven. The secondary should be better, but that would only matter so much if the pass rush falls off a cliff."
