GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Jonathan Taylor vs. Rutgers defense. With the Badgers returning to Camp Randall and several starters questionable, including quarterback Alex Hornibrook, Taylor has a chance to put last week’s two-fumble, 46-yard outing in his rearview mirror. How Taylor responds against Rutgers’ struggling defense might determine the Badgers’ season. Taylor is averaging 144.4 yards per game. The Knights are allowing 33.8 points and a whopping 224 yards rushing per game.
DRAFT SLANT
–LB T.J. Edwards, one of the few healthy veterans on defense, Edwards is showing his worth with his durability and strong individual performances.

–S Scott Nelson is questionable for the Rutgers game with a right leg injury.
–S D’Cota Dixon is also questionable with a right leg injury.
