Wisconsin v WSU Game

[Suudy]

Anybody see the illegal batting call?

The reason I ask, is that the kicking team (UW) batted the ball towards WSU's goal. A WSU player picked up the ball and ran, but the play was whistled dead.

I'm an NFHS guy, but isn't the kick still live until dead by rule (i.e. posessed by K beyond the NZ or out of bounds)? Or are NCAA rules different?

Was there a IW on that one?

If I was the WSU coach, I would have come unglued, especially since the player had a wide open lane to the EZ.
