Rose Bowl: Texas Christian 21, Wisconsin 13 (midway through fourth quarter)
It's hard to believe these teams set a Rose Bowl record for scoring with 24 first-quarter points. Coach Leather Bags Since then, the defenses have settled in, with Texas Christian proving why it came into the game as the national leader in overall defense, giving up averages of only 11.4 points and 215.4 yards per game. Wisconsin had 234 yards of offense at halftime, but the Badgers -- who ran up 70 or more points three times this season, have been shut out since Philip Welch made a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the first half. And now time is running out. With only 7 minutes 32 seconds left in regulation, Wisconsin has the ball on its own 16-yard line. Coach handbags After a fast start, Wisconsin's offense hasn't been able to sustain much against Texas Christian's top-ranked defense, which made two big plays early in the third quarter. First, cornerback Greg McCoy stripped Wisconsin receiver Nick Toon of a pass that would have moved the Badgers inside the 10-yard line. Then, on a key third-down play, linebacker Tank Carder made like his first name and flattened Wisconsin quarterback Scott Tolzien before he could deliver a pass. TCU has been impressive on special teams, too, with punter Anson Kelton most recently pinning Wisconsin back on its own three-yard line thanks to a hot-potato relay by his teammates on the coverage team. Texas Christian's offense hasn't had the ball much compared to Wisconsin, but the Horned Frogs are making the most of their time.Coach outlet Fullback Luke Shivers just scored from one yard on his first carry of the game to give TCU a 21-13 lead just 3 minutes and 4 seconds into the second half. Wisconsin has held the ball more than twice as long as TCU, but Horned Frogs quarterback Andy Dalton has had his unit in motion most of the game. Dalton completed passes of 33 yards to Ed Wesley and 12 yards to Jimmy Young on the drive. TCU also picked up 15 yards on a pass interference call. Dalton has completed nine of 12 passes for 154 yards in the game. TCU 14, Wisconsin 13 (halftime) A not-very-smart call that worked and an officials challenge enabled Wisconsin to pull within a point on the last play of the first half. The call: On fourth-and-nine from its own 33 yard line, Wisconsin punter Brad Nortman ran 11 yards for a first down. A gutty play since it worked. Something far less than that if it hadn't.Women Air Max Then, later in the drive, wide receiver Nick Toon made a diving catch of a Scott Tolzien third-down pass, but officials on the field ruled it a trap. However, Toon popped up, sprinted across the field, and appealed to his coaches to challenge the ruling. They did -- and won. Tolzien was then sacked by Texas Christian strong safety Colin Jones on the next play, but he rebounded to complete three passes to put Wisconsin in field goal range. Philip Welch converted from 37 yards out as time expired in the half. Jones, a 6-foot, 208-pound senior, has been all over the field for the Horned Frog defense, batting away passes and generally being a thorn in the side to Tolzien. Halftime statistical leaders: For TCU, quarterback Andy Dalton has completed seven of 10 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. He also leads the Horned Frogs with 31 rushing yards in seven carries. Jimmy Young is the top receiver with three catches for 34 yards. For Wisconsin, Tolzien has completed eight of 12 passes for 106 yards. Montee Ball is the leading rusher with 101 yards in 13 carries -- 40 of those yards coming on the game's first play from scrimmage. Lance Kendricks is the Badgers' top receiver with three catches for 26 yards. Something to remember late in the game: Wisconsin ran 38 plays for 234 yards in the first half, keeping the ball 21 minutes and 28 seconds. TCU has gained 141 yards in 18 plays and has kept the ball only 8:32.longchamp bags Still TCU 14, Wisconsin 10 (late in second quarter): Wisconsin's Philip Welch was six for six making field goals from 39 yards in. But now he's six for seven. Welch, a junior, just missed wide left on a 39-yard field-goal attempt early in the second quarter. TCU 14, Wisconsin 10 (start of second quarter): Andy Dalton is faring considerably better in his second Bowl Championship Series game than he did in his first. The Texas Christian senior had three passes intercepted in last year's Fiesta Bowl, a 17-10 loss to Boise State. But in the early going against Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, he's been nearly flawless. Dalton has put the Horned Frogs back in front on a four-yard run with 36 seconds left in the first quarter. Jeremy Kerley set up the 57-yard scoring drive with a 35-yard kickoff return. Then came a one-yard run by Ed Wesley on the first play. After that, it was all Dalton. He hit Josh Boyce with a perfectly thrown pass for a 44-yard gain, then ran on three consecutive plays, gaining one, seven and four yards. The 24 points in the first quarter is a Rose Bowl record. The previous record was 17 points, accomplished on multiple occasions -- the last time in 1993 by Michigan and Washington.air jordans Wisconson 10, TCU 7 in first quarter: What's this? Wisconsin can pass the ball too? The offense that one time this season ran on 29 consecutive plays, just moved right down the field to take a 10-7 lead on the arm of quarterback Scott Tolzien. Tolzien, showing why he led the nation in completion percentage, connected on passes of 14 yards to Lance Kendricks, 18 to Jared Abbrederis and 27 to Bradie Ewing on a six-play, 67-yard drive. John Clay scored the touchdown on a one-yard dive, the first score since Oct. 23 for the 2009 Big Ten Conference offensive player of the year. He has been slowed by knee injuriesAir Max 90 Women
