Darius Taylor News: Overall productive day in opener

Taylor posted 30 carries for 141 yards and caught 4 of 5 targets for 36 yards during Thursday's 23-10 victory against Buffalo.

Taylor was the driving force of Minnesota's offense throughout the day, totaling over 170 yards both on the ground and through the air. Though the 6-foot running back didn't find the end zone, Taylor showed why he was expected to be one of the premier playmakers in the country this season, commanding a lion's share of touches within the Minnesota offense. His next opportunity will come against Northwestern State on Saturday.
