We expect you to provide commentary on each of the above. 😉
 
Am I the only one feeling Wisconsin by 2 touchdowns or more? UND so overrated, every single year, sometimes their schedule allows them to go on for long, but they always get exposed eventually. Badgers big

I didn't realize Wisconsin is the fave by 6 or so. I would've thought closer to 2-3.5pts either way. Wisconsin's defense is good but their offense can be a little more questionable. Battle of former Wisconsin QBs and I think Coan has done a little better than Mertz thus far in the season.

2TDs seems like a bit, I think at most 10 either way. I'm rooting for Wisconsin though.
 
Wisconsin's D stiffens at the goal line. ND was driving it pretty well down the field until then. ND misses 39yd FG. Wisconsin still up 3-0. Still no points given up in the first half by Wisconsin this season.

MIzzou BC tied at 7.
LSU up 7-0 on Miss State.

EDIT: Mizzou drove down the field pretty easy there. 14-7 Mizzou 7 plays 80yds

Nice pass by Mertz and good job controlling it by the receiver.

BC already rushed for over 100yds in the first qtr.

EDIT: Darn it ND stuffed them on 4th and 1 around the 20. Could have had a first on the previous play too.

BC answers 14-14.

Too many games in NFL stadiums. These teams play basically 3 bowl games per year. Imagine this game at Camp Randall. Arkansas A&M is at steril cowboys stadium. College Gameday and Fox Kickoff show were both in Chicago today in parking lots instead of on a campus green. Call me old school but I don’t like it
 
How did Fox, which has a contract for Big 10 games, come up with a couple of ND fanboys to broadcast this one?

ND 51yd FG 3-3.

7 different receivers with a catch for Mizzou in the game. 8 different have had a TD catch this season.
 
The only sad thing about this schedule is that UConm Wyoming is on the same time as our game. Would love to watch that one live for full enjoyment
 
Does every single team have a player wearing a mouth guard that is supposed to look like a baby pacifier? If everyone’s doing it is it really cool and unique it is it just stupid?
 
4th and 3 conversion called back by a State Penn hold
Millen said the Tackle didn't something worse than a hold.
See he can be impartial sometimes.
 
Oh man don’t know how that got in there. Perfect throw by Coan for the TD but could be reviewed. What a pass either way.

TD. 10-3 ND

17-14 Mizzou

I have no idea how that call was confirmed. He clearly didn't maintain control of the ball when he hit the ground and he didn't make a "football move" either. The pass interference that negated the interception on that drive was a reactionary call too, the flag wasn't thrown until after it was intercepted. Reminded me of the phantom ineligible receiver call on our fake field goal touchdown against Louisville in 2012, flag didn't come out until the official saw the result of the play and felt like he had to do something about it.
 
Wisconsin with only 14yds rushing with 4 min left in first half. ND only 3.

Mertz over throws what would’ve been a big gain to a wide open receiver.

Is that still a rule….control through the ground? Sounded like he just had to have it in control for a certain amount of time and take a step the way the official analyst explained it not necessarily all the way through the ground.

The PI I think might have been but they only showed a quick replay so didn’t really see it.

I don't remember hearing about them changing that rule, if that's a touchdown then it means if the same play happened outside the end zone, it would be called a fumble instead of an incomplete pass, which I highly doubt would be the case.

The pass interference, whether it was the correct call or not, seems it was only called because of the interception based on the fact that the ref didn't throw the flag until the Wisconsin player was already a few steps into running it back the other way. He didn't reach for the flag right after the receiver missed it, and he didn't even reach for it while the ball was up in the air, it wasn't a penalty until it was intercepted.

What happened to Jalen Berger?
He is not on the stat sheet.

I don’t remember any rule change either but if you need to control through the ground then that wasn’t a catch. They didn’t even mention that. Only amount of time in control and taking a step nothing about control through the ground. I’ve seen TDs brought back where there was a bobble after hitting the ground so not sure how that was a TD if that rule hasn’t been changed.

I didn’t really pay attention to after the fact or not PI flag but if it’s the correct call then I can’t complain.

I’m not sure he’s been playing much this season if at all. I think they have a Clemson transfer and another guy Chryst has been using. Not sure why.

They’re not running well regardless.
