Most college football fans–especially those in Big Ten country–know the Wisconsin Badgers for their ground attack and offensive line proficiency.
Earlier today ProFootballFocus tweeted where the Badgers’ run blocking has ranked nationally during the last four years under Paul Chryst.
Those rankings are No. 6 in 2016, No. 1 in 2017, No. 4 in 2018 and No. 7 last season.

Not that this is any surprise, but looking through the three-place drops both from 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 makes Jonathan Taylor‘s sophomore and junior seasons even that more impressive (not that it needed any more prestige).
PFF’s No. 13 team in the country now moves forward without their star running back but with talent up front to continue their run of dominance on the ground.
