Wisconsin intentionally committed fouls which put them in a win-win situation. If the penalty is refused then Penn St. would be stuck near their own goal line because of the way they threw off the timing of the blocker by being 8 yards closer than normal. If the penalty is accepted then Wisconsin is able to run more time off the clock. Either way the recieving team is screwed. The fouling team should not benefit both if the penalty is enforced or refused.
