We are one of only three big ten teams with a roster paid less than $20M. It’s not a Braun problem.

It didn't look like he got it in real time. Either it was a generous spot or I just completely saw it wrong.

The yellow line was a foot or two past the actual line which didn’t help. As for where he knee went down I couldn’t tell even on replay

We forced them to kick (and miss) a long FG, now we can relax with the ball up 2 scores with under 90 seconds left.
