Jonathan Taylor had a big day as Wisconsin dominated Michigan football at Camp Randall Stadium. What’d we learn from this Big Ten showdown?

35. 809. Final. 14. 811

The Wisconsin Badgers jumped out to an early lead and did not look back as they defeated the Michigan Wolverines 35-14 in Madison on Saturday afternoon. All facets of the Badger offense were working at Camp Randall Stadium.

Jonathan Taylor ran for 203 yards and two touchdowns as he led a rushing attack that ran for 359 yards against what was thought to be a stout Wolverine defense and Jack Coan was efficient with only three incomplete passes on 16 attempts.

The Badger defense was dominant. The Wolverines — who came into the game short at running back — could not run the ball at all in this one. Shea Patterson had one of his worst games in a Michigan uniform completing only 43 percent of his passes and throwing one interception.

Michigan couldn’t get going at all on offense. Ben Mason, a converted defensive lineman, fumbled on the only drive the Wolverines showed signs of life early in the game.

It was a statement win for the Badgers and a devastating loss for the Wolverines, and here’s what we learned.
