Wisconsin frosh RB Jonathan Taylor leads Power 5 in rushing yards after 1st contact w 539 yards. That # would rank 34 in TOTAL rushing yards

 

[Great Dayne]

Bryce Love having 750 yards before contact. This means his OL is opening up superb lanes for him to run through. RB has to be evaluated way beyond the rushing stat sheet.

i got a nice 41 from toledo tonight

Too bad they took the night off last night.

States Love is padding stats off weak opponents. Touts his own RB using stats he favors when he hasn't faced a ranked team or high ranked defense yet this year.


Seems legit.

Holy fuck, we get it, you've got a chubby for Taylor.

You sound eerily similar to Michigan fans with Heisman winner Tate Forcier and Heisman winner Denard Robinson.

Opponents rush defensive ranking (YPC)

Badgers Opponents

Northwestern #19
BYU #49
Purdue #65
Utah St. #73
Nebraska #87
Maryland #90
Florida Atlantic #103

Average Ranking 66.5

Stanford Opponents

Oregon #20
Utah #40
San Diego State #48
USC #97
RICE #106
ASU #114
UCLA #129 (6.1 YPC avg)

Average ranking 79.1

So his average ranking of teams is about 13 teams weaker than the Badgers. Combine that with him being untouched (first contact after receiving the ball) for 750 yards through holes the size of trucks it's laughable to compare Love to JT. JT leads the Nation in yards after contact which means he's making the holes for the most part and is facing on average teams ranked 13 spots higher than Love.

Nope, it has nothing to do the teams or players right now.

 

[BTHOtu]

Yeah. Well, look at their competition

 

[Great Dayne]

Yeah. Well, look at their competition

That's majority of the college football teams then if you're saying all the RB's faced garbage competition on this list.
