“These are the heaviest players on the Auburn squad and their loss deprives the line of any advantage it might have had because of superior weight.”'[2] Taylor drew praise for his play against Georgia Tech in a 14 to 0 victory in 1914.

In the early part of the first quarter someone, unthoughtedly of course, kicked in the upper section of Babe’s face, in the neighborhood of the left eye.

Babe’s face wore an expression of agony and the blood trickled down his features in doublequick time, but he stood by the fort and played a grand game of football.

[8] Taylor was a unanimous All-Southern selection along with Alabama's first All-American Bully Van de Graaff and Vanderbilt legend Rabbit Curry.

"[10] Miss Virginia Gilmer, an Auburn fan of some 13 years of age once told Taylor that “if she were a boy and as big as he and had any sense at all she would be an all-southern tackle.”[11]
