Overview

  • Minnesota’s official unavailability report did not list Taylor for the prime-time game at Ohio Stadium.
  • CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz and local reports say he is expected to be available barring a late setback.
  • He re-aggravated a hamstring on Sept. 6 against Northwestern State and sat out the California and Rutgers games for recovery.
  • Without him, the Gophers managed just 35 rushing yards on 18 carries in the win over Rutgers as Fame Ijeboi and Cam Davis filled in.
  • Taylor logged 33 carries for 161 yards this season after posting 986 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, and his return tests an Ohio State run defense allowing 2.90 yards per carry.
