If the missed xp winds up being a difference maker this game I'm gonna be so so sad.

I will say that the vibe around town was that the good new for OSU was they'd return their entire defense this year.  Turns out that that's also the bad news for them.

Nick Lamaison threw a great short pass to Wisconsin's defensive end for what looked like a TD, but this will be called incomplete upon review, I  think. 

...and it is incomplete. UTEP's punter hasn't had to stay warm in the 2nd quarter as he is getting decent reps in as it is.

I think that one thing that Nathan Jeffrey needs to consider is that, if you're going to run ten to fifteen yards in the wrong direction, you may want to consider going for the safety and starting over on your next possession. 

...but of course, Wisconsin gets called for roughing the kicker and UTEP gets a chance to rush in the right direction with about a minute left in the half.

Kentucky  Passing

Morgan Newton..... 3 ints

Team..... 2 ints

Does ESPN not know that Excel exists or something? You don't have to enter EVERY value in the table. 

EDIT: -56 yards passing? Is this real life? Demarcus Sweat also has one phantom kickoff return, because apparently Kentucky only has one return as a team...

UTEP has had a few first downs which have instead been called back for penalties against their offense. The Miner offensive line really should stop giving Lamaison false hope that his passes are effective and will stand.

3. Low blocks: Blocking below the waist is now mostly prohibited with very few exceptions.



Linemen must be within seven yards of the snapper to block low, while backs in the backfield are allowed to do so within the tackle box. All other low blocks are prohibited. So you won't see a receiver taking out a cornerback's knees or linemen going downfield and going low on a run block. 

Although in these cases it may not apply, I think the refs may be hyper-sensitive and thus, calling the penalty with moe frequency early in the season.

Man, the buckeye just look terrible. They keep winning, but they look so unconvincing squeezing out wins at home against cupcakes. UAB was 3-9 last year but Ohio's defense has given up over 200 yards and 3 scoring drives to them in the first half alone.

I actually dont mind the Terps uni's......that whole diggs thing however is a whole different story.

Also I just want to join in on the big ten sucks meme. Just a terrible conference this year no way to defend it.

It's now 23-16 Badgers after UTEP drives 75 yards for a TD. It did get noticably more quiescent in Camp Randall, almost as if the Badger  faithful realize that a lot could happen in the last 20 minutes of regulation play. Sure, the Badgers may win, but they won't cover the 18 points with this offense.

Bielema is now feeling the effects of when those under the radar kids dont pan out....Wiscy, Sparty, Iowa should all be use to this. Only two programs in this conference have the ability to recruit at high levels and just reload.
