Iowa’s 15-6 win over Wisconsin certainly wasn’t the pinnacle of college football greatness, but it did put the Hawkeyes in the drivers seat for a Big Ten West title.
One of the main reasons Iowa held the Badgers to just 6 points? They won the field position game thanks to the best punter in the nation.
Tory Taylor took home Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week after a performance at Wisconsin that saw him average over 50 yards per punt, have a pair of 60-yard punts, and six punts downed inside the 20. It’s hard to see a punter take over a game, but that’s exactly what we saw in Madison on Saturday.
An absolute weapon.
