Mike Taylor isn't sure whether he will be healthy enough to play Saturday night when No. 12 Wisconsin opens the season at Nevada-Las Vegas. The sophomore linebacker insisted, however, that he plans to play no later than Week 2 when UW hosts San Jose State, writes Jeff Potrykus in this notes column.
