Wisconsin football: Grading position groups from week three vs. BYU

This group played as well as they could considering the running game wasn’t as big of a threat as it usually is. Had Jonathan Taylor been able to break off a few longer runs, more chances in the passing game would have opened up.

Regardless, the pass-catchers played well. Danny Davis had a solid showing in his return from suspension. Hornibrook targetted him a lot and he brought in four passes for 40 yards. It’s a good start in his first action back this year.

A.J. Taylor continues to be a nice piece in the passing game too, though he might be losing some targets with Davis back in the mix. He had two catches for 31 yards.

Jake Ferguson was the star of this group hauling in three catches for 61 yards. Zander Neuville left the game again with an injury leaving Ferguson as the main pass-catching tight end and he showed again why he has earned so much playing time early in the year. He might be who Hornibrook trusts more than any receiver on the team.

Kendric Pryor, as mentioned earlier, had one catch for 11 yards and a carry for 21 yards. His targets will probably be diminished as well by Davis’ return, but he is somebody who can get chunks of yards every time he touches the ball. Opposing defenses will have to pay great attention to him any time he goes in motion before the snap.
