 What type of running style does Garrett Groshek have ? Jonathan Taylor ran all over Nebraska last season. Does Groshek that same play making ability?

Groshek has been Wisconsin’s third-down back for the past two years. He has been a reliable part of the Badger’s passing attack. He’s never really been a focal point of the Badger’s running game until this year. He is a tough runner but isn’t a power runner.

He is elusive and quick. He got a majority of his carries towards the end of the game Friday night when they were trying to run out the clock. He made a few nice plays, but the Badgers are still trying to figure out how to replace Taylor.
