GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Rafael Gaglianone booted the 47-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Wisconsins defense backed up their strong-legged kicker with a late-game interception.Then LSU offensive lineman Josh Boutte delivered a devastating hit.The Badgers staved off the fifth-ranked Tigers desperate last-ditch drive for a 16-14 victory Saturday in a game that dealt an early blow to LSUs national title hopes.LSUs frustration was on full display at the end of the game, when Boutte was ejected for a flagrant foul after the vicious blind-side hit on Wisconsins DCota Dixon. The safety had sealed the win with an interception with 57 seconds left.It was honestly unbelievable when I turned around and saw that DCota had the ball in his hands, Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt said. A little scuffle broke out from the LSU team. In the end thats the way they play football and we have our ways to play football.Dixon picked off Brandon Harris at the Wisconsin 25 and slipped to the ground. A nearby official waved both arms above his head as if signaling the play was over, while Dixon ran off with teammates with his right index finger pointed in the air in celebration.Thats when Boutte rushed over and leveled Dixon.Coach Les Miles said he had to review the film, but that it was out of character for his lineman.Boutte, Miles said, was not a malicious guy, and I just cant imagine that he saw him go down and then wouldve made a tackle.Either way, the play will likely be reviewed for possible discipline.Heisman Trophy hopeful Leonard Fournette ran for 138 yards on 23 carries but walked gingerly to the sideline after his final carry, a 15-yard run with less than 2 minutes left.Miles said Fournette would have returned if LSU was able to get the ball back.Instead, the Tigers will limp home with their first loss in a season opener in Miles 12 years as LSU coach. This will surely put Miles back on the hot seat after he was nearly run out of Baton Rouge after a 9-3 season in 2015.We knew what was at stake this season. Our goal is to win it all and go undefeated. Its a hurtful feeling, cornerback TreDavious White said.Gaglianone also hit field goals from 30 and 48 yards in the second quarter. The Badgers held LSU to 2 of 10 on third-down conversions.Really proud of them. Far from perfect, but they just kept playing and found a way just to make plays, coach Paul Chryst said.THE TAKEAWAYLSU: The offense sputtered and quarterback Brandon Harris struggled, going 12 of 21 for 131 yards with two interceptions and a score.We didnt move the football like were capable of, Miles said.But Miles move to bring former Wisconsin assistant Dave Aranda aboard in the offseason to coordinate the defense paid off. White returned an interception for a touchdown and recovered a fumble that set up LSUs other score, both in the third quarter.WISCONSIN: Corey Clement ran for 86 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. The Badgers defense pitched a shutout well into the third quarter, forcing two fumbles and frustrating Harris. But Wisconsin led just 6-0 at halftime after squandering early scoring chances, including a stop on fourth-and-1 from the LSU 23.Quarterback Bart Houston, making his first career start, was 19 of 31 for 205 yards with two interceptions.But in the end, the Badgers celebrated at Lambeau Field, home of the NFLs Green Bay Packers.When you look at the ranking, OK, theyre No. 5. But what are we? And we beat them, Clement said. Its just one of those things where you think, `Were still not getting respect probably.POLL IMPLICATIONSLSU: The Tigers will likely nosedive out of the Top 10 when the next poll comes out Tuesday. While playing at Wisconsin-friendly Lambeau Field isnt easy, Harris and the offensive line had spotty season debuts. Still, the loss is early enough that the Tigers could find their way back into the national championship race if things break their way in the tough SEC.WISCONSIN: Welcome back to the Top 25. The win is a huge confidence-builder for a team with a brutal schedule, with games against Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State all on the slate by Oct. 15.UP NEXTLSU: FCS school Jacksonville State visits Tiger Stadium for LSUs home opener on Sept. 10. Its the first meeting between the two teams.Wisconsin: The Badgers play their first game at Camp Randall Stadium by hosting Akron on Sept. 10. Kelly Oubre Jr. Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.

Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout.

The Seattle Seahawks are struggling on offense and Pete Carroll has seen enough.The veteran coach uncharacteristically called out the unit after two consecutive poor showings and is hoping to see a much-improved level of performance when the Seahawks host the Buffalo Bills on Monday night (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).Seattle (4-2-1) ranks 29th in points per game (18.7) and 23rd in total offense (339.9) after the consecutive sub-par efforts. The Seahawks have scored just one offensive touchdown in their last nine quarters and suffered a 25-20 road loss to the New Orleans Saints last Sunday.We need to get out of what weve been in the past two weeks, Carroll said during a news conference. This is not the way we want to play football. We need to fix this.Part of the offensive issues can be pinpointed to the health of quarterback Russell Wilson, who hasnt accounted for a single touchdown over the past three games.Wilson has dealt with knee, ankle and pectoral injuries this season and the Seahawks have asked him to curtail his running and scrambling abilities.But Carroll said Wilson made it through the New Orleans game without an injury setback.Hes getting better, Carroll said. Im really fired up about that and were going to keep progressing as he is able and do what we can to get back to the kind of mix that we like.Wilson doesnt feel the Seahawks are far away from getting the offense back on track.Just needs to continue being consistent, Wilson said. Just takes one or two plays and well (get going). I believe that and I believe well make those plays happen.The Bills (4-4) made a bold move by luring receiver Percy Harvin out of retirement and the reaction in Seattle could be interesting if Harvin suits up.He was a ballyhooed acquisition by the Seahawks prior to the 2013 campaign and played in just six regular-season games over two seasons before being dealt to the New York Jets. However, Harvin returned a kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown in Seattles 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.Harvin played in just five games for Buffalo last season and retired last spring as hip and knee injuries wore him down both physically and mentally.Percy is a guy that worked so hard, Bills coach Rex Ryan said.dddddddddddd. Its either full speed (or nothing), and sometimes you try to back him down a little bit, but thats why last year he was so frustrated that he wasnt able to contribute more to our team. He just needed some time away from the game to get healed up. So hopefully we catch lightning in a bottle so to speak and Percy is back to himself.A healthy Harvin would be a big help for a Buffalo passing game that remains without standout receiver Sammy Watkins, who is on injured reserve with a foot injury. And Harvin said he is ready to help after the much-needed period of rest.It was time for me to just step back and let my body heal without training it, putting the time on it, and knowing Im getting rest, the 28-year-old Harvin said. I just wanted to take time off for myself. I was able to relax with my family. At this time, Im just kind of getting myself together. Im refreshed and Im ready to go.The Bills wont know until close to game time if standout running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) can play. McCoy is sixth in the NFL with 598 rushing yards despite missing last Sundays 41-25 loss to the New England Patriots.NFL sacks leader Lorenzo Alexander (nine) also could be limited due to a hamstring injury. Alexander plans to play with the Bills having a bye the following Sunday.Buffalo ranks 16th in total defense (360.3) but is tied for first with 26 sacks. The Bills rank third in turnover margin (plus 8).Seattles Legion of Boom defense is again one of the top units in the league and ranks second in scoring defense (15.4) and third in total defense (319.4).Veteran defensive end Cliff Avril is tied for third in the NFL with 7 1/2 sacks. Avril has been sensational over the past four games with 6 1/2 sacks and three forced fumbles.Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner has a team-best 72 tackles while cornerback Richard Sherman and free safety Earl Thomas share the team lead with two interceptions.The Seahawks trounced the Bills 50-17 in 2012 in Toronto in the most-recent meeting. Wilson rushed for three touchdowns and passed for one. ' ' '
