Rose Bowl

[youngterrier]

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.

[youngterrier]

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

[youngterrier]

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

[youngterrier]

TOUCHDOWN TCU!!!!!

[tampajag]

Nice drive by TCU

[youngterrier]

Wisconsin returns the favor 10-7 Badgers

[youngterrier]

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

[youngterrier]

TCU long pass to the 15

[∞∞∞]

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

[youngterrier]

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

[youngterrier]

play stands. 14-10 TCU

[youngterrier]

end first quarter. TCU looks for real

[youngterrier]

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

[youngterrier]

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

[FargoBison]

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

[youngterrier]

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

[tampajag]

Touchdown TCU!

[youngterrier]

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

[youngterrier]

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