Wisconsin Football: Live Blog Recap Wisconsin and Nebraska
4th Quarter
Nebraska punts and it’s a touch back. Taylor with a short gain on first down. Taylor busts a run through the right side (again). If Cephus sustains the block Taylor might be deep into Nebraska territory. Another good run and its 2nd-and-2. Shaw moves the chains as Badgers leaning on Nebraska now. Out of the I formation, Shaw gets maybe four yards. Ibrahim rumbles over the left side and big gain into the red zone. I highly doubt Nebraska prepped much for Ibrahim. Badgers have to take a timeout with play clock winding down. Shaw patient and carves his way through inside the 10. Taylor gets Wisconsin close to another first down. Badgers are in 3rd-and-1. Another Husker down. Handoff to Taylor and tripped up as he nearly scored. A first-and-goal for the Badgers with clock running under 9:30 minutes now. TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN as Taylor powers in.
'Sconnie is 5-0, and Jonathan Taylor continues to do numbers.

When offensive line coaches talking about "finishing plays" and "finishing blocks" that last touchdown run is exactly what they mean

Wisconsin 31 Nebraska 17 9:08 4th Quarter
First down throw lucky to not draw an OPI flag. TURNOVER. On 2nd down Lee hits Morgan on a slant past Tindal. Tindal rips the ball out before his knee is down and Ryan Connelly is there to catch the ball. Morgan’s knee is probably an inch off the ground and its Wisconsin ball with a chance to put this game away.
Couple runs get little Taylor finds room over the right side and skates through for the first down. Fantastic hole from Tyler Biadasz and Ben Benzschawel clear the way for Taylor. Shaw runs a couple times and its 3rd down. Ibrahim runs for another first down and Wisconsin just running and running and chewing clock. Ibrahim again carries near the 10. Ibrahim bounces one and carries near the goal line. Ibrahim down inches short of the end zone. That’s fine, burn another 40 seconds. Wisconsin hands to Shaw who shuffles to his right and darts into the end zone.
Wisconsin 38 Nebraska 17 2:40 4th Quarter
Nebraska waves the white flag sending in a back up redshirt freshman QB. Swing pass for confidence gets 8 yards. Nelson jumps fwd and keeps clock moving stopping the Huskers short. Jamerson with a sack.
Okay, that seemed kind of mean. Jamerson sneaks up late and blitzes from S spot to sack the redshirt freshman QB.

On 4th down Nebraska pass a little short and TE valiant effort appears in vain despite his protestations to the contrary. Not a catch. Jack Coan hands off to Groshek in case the Huskers were going to use its timeouts. They weren’t. So one snap in victory formation and that’s it.
