If you need us, we'll be playing that devastating juke move on repeat for the next hour or so.
Surprisingly enough, that's not all Taylor had to say as a pass catcher prior to the first half's conclusion.
With two seconds remaining on the clock, Jack Coan found his tailback once again, who barreled his way through a couple of tackles and into the end zone for his third score of the night, this time from 12 yards out, to put the Badgers up 28-0 at the half.
