2. Jonathan Taylor has another 200-yard day

Jonathan Taylor absolutely has to be THE Heisman frontrunner after two games. He leads the nation in rushing yards with 398 and it’s not even close. He should add onto that number and will likely head into the conference schedule with 600+ rushing yards to his name.

Through just two games this season, Taylor has run the ball 51 times for 398 yards and five touchdowns. That’s a whopping 7.8 yards per carry average, higher than his 6.6 average last season. Of course, that number is likely to come down a bit once the schedule gets a bit tougher in conference play.

Wisconsin would love to rest Taylor as much as possible and keep him fresh for Big Ten play. However, they will ride him early and often against BYU and Taylor will help the Badgers get off to a very quick start. Which brings me to my final prediction…
