Barely got his 2000. Troy didn’t get a bowl game. Still impressive though. Wisconsin pissed this one away. Four turnovers. Woof.

I'll be the devil's advocate, Troy didn't nearly have the YPP that Jonathan Taylor has. Yes, he played more games, but Troy had far more rushing attempts.

Bowl game? Troy didn't get 13 and 14 games either.

Teams knew TD was going to get the ball and stacked the box. Still couldn't stop him. And that was behind an average o-line. Wisconsin always has great linemen.

TD routinely played against 8 or 9 men in box bc everyone knew he was our whole team. And he didnt just inflate his stats against bad teams, he brought it against everyone

I remember reading that some Heisman voter said he’d never vote for someone from Iowa St. Troy was arguably the best football player but had no chance at winning.
