Initial thoughts: SEC officials, is that a good thing? Did they just have a heisman moment commercial about that national title game that had to be vacated by USC?

TCU wins toss, defers to second half

This is always my favorite bowl. Gotta head out there once for the Rose Bowl experience.

Wisconsin has a 40 yard run on the first play from scrimmage, they have not called a pass. 2nd down and 12 inside the TCU 20

first pass thrown by Wisconsin is incomplete. 4th down and 8, field goal attempt is good. 3-0 Badgers

TOUCHDOWN TCU!!!!!

Nice drive by TCU

Wisconsin returns the favor 10-7 Badgers

TCU returns kickoff to the 43. It would appear that they have some BCS-worthy athletes

TCU long pass to the 15

Yep...this is gonna be a good one.

TOUCHDOWN TCU! This is gonna be a great one!
edit: play under review to see spot of the ball

play stands. 14-10 TCU

end first quarter. TCU looks for real

TCU can't stop Wisconsin's run game it would seem

Wisconsin missed a field goal

This is the most entertaining Rose Bowl I have seen in a long long time (yes that includes Oregon/Ohio State)

First off the discipline of both teams is unreal.

Next watching Wisconsin's offensive line is a thing of beauty against a fast and mean TCU defense (which is equally great to watch).

Also, watch how Dalton is effectively using the zone read vs JJ Wall. That is something you will see a lot of when Thomas & James of Oregon take on Nick Fairley of Auburn.

I for the life of me don't understand why Wisconsin keeps passing the ball on third down and medium/short. They don't need to. TCU can't stop their running game and they are good for at least 3 yards every try. They faked the punt and got a first down

Wow, that was a ballsy call by either the coach or the punter.

They began running to the outside and were getting cutdown, of course by equally fast players.

I don't know why they've left the up the gut running game, let them stop it before you start airing it out.

exactly, I can understand passing it on 2nd down but if It's 3rd and 3-5 and they haven't stopped you running up the gut the whole time.

Field Goal Wisconsin. 14-13 TCU at half. TCU gets the ball in the second half

1st and goal TCU. now touchdown TCU. 20-13 TCU, extra point pending. 21-13

Touchdown TCU!

TCU doesn't have much of a run game and at the same time is having a hard time stopping Wisconsin's run game, but they are still leading because the Badgers' playcalling isn't the best

TCU gets the ball back off a punt following a big sack
