Wisconsin junior Jonathan Taylor only needs 1425 yards rushing this season to break Herschel Walker’s collegiate rushing record for the most yards in the first three years, which has stood for 37 years. Taylor played in 27 games his first two years at Wisconsin, three more than Walker. Taylor does have a higher yards per carry average.

Though Clemson’s Travis Etienne scored eight more touchdowns than Taylor, he has rushed for 1747 less yards – but he’s only carried the ball half as many times and averaged almost a yard more per carry.

Taylor will have to boost his yards per game average at least 3-1/2 yards to top Walker’s NCAA record. To do this he’ll have to rush for 2050 yards this season. So far he’s already behind the needed pace. Taylor’s running backs coach at Wisconsin is former Atlanta Falcon John Settle.

Slow Monday evening. Ceil cooked chicken stir fry with rice or noodles. Watched the Braves. Did some laundry.
Tuesday: Anna in Athens. C at her Tuesday Table. M gone. Came home and crashed. Made two quesadillas with chicken, rice, and cheese. Watched about five episodes of Fresh Off the Boat. Laugh out loud funny. One involves them watching the movie You’ve Got Mail.
After winning on Monday, on Tuesday the Braves fell behind 4-0 to Philly. Came back to lose 6-5.
Packed up Wednesday lunch: leftover chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables. I hate it when grown up people say “veggies.”
Sold a pair of shoes. Fifteen more currently for sale. Got at least ten more pair I need to put up for sale. Still will have over twenty pairs I’m keeping to wear. About to post 55 bobbleheads up for sale as well. Already sold two others. Quickly sold over twenty more. Won’t put a dent in my collection.
