Cole's inability to finish a shot is frustrating to watch at times. He's got some work to do on the backside tomorrow and hopefully Saturday. Then he needs to really increase his strength this offseason.

Feel bad for Cole. He took all of the shots. Had a leg deep 3 times but got his head stuck. Just not strong enough at his weight. Would love him to make a run on the back side but he’ll face some big bodies
He should be wrestling like Gabe Arnold, except he can't get out from bottom. Hard to win many matches when you can't finish shots, can't ride and can't get out from bottom....just too small.

No chance at what...he was in deep three times. He couldn't convert. Kueter is an all American and, from a pure talent standpoint, one of the better wrestlers in the country. Doubt him if you want.
Keuter is good, but he's also one of the few heavyweights close to Cole's size. Everyone else he faces will be bigger...chances of finishing a shot or getting out from bottom are no bueno.

Not sure about everyone else, but PSU went chalk in round 2. We are where we expected to be. LFG. No upsets or injuries, we are in perfect position.
No we didn’t. We aren’t competing against other
teams. We are competing against ourselves and records. Cole lost a winnable match. He wasn’t some huge underdog. He needs a shot to the outside not straight under a guy.

I think you've mistaken me for someone who wants to go back and forth with someone who's entire purpose is trolling on whatever board he is on. Enjoy the tournament. I know I will.

As far as wrestling goes, I would say wrong. I am not a wrestle. I am an ice hockey guy that has coached at a fairly high level so my observations are based upon my interaction with athletes through the years.

Some guys just fight who they are.
I once read a great line from an article about the UCLA basketball team, something like:

“Center Dan Gadzuric, who has been fighting a four-year battle against himself, <something> <something>”

There was no explanation, and no context setting, for the parenthetical. It was just presented as fact and said in passing. And fans of the team knew exactly what was meant!

And we have 8 guys left who can finish

They're ahead of themselves last year so....

I would have like to see Cole go down. I think he could have escaped Kueter. He could have wrestled a solid third. instead of a forced one. He has shown he can take him down. Time to bear down and battle back.
Really? You would've likely said " why'd he go down" after her got ridden again like the last time. Two weeks ago.

I guess that is what good writing really is.

Keuter rode him like a mule last match. I don't think Cole was getting out. He had about a 10% chance of getting a TD and a 1% chance of escaping. It was the right move tactically.

Seemed pretty clear. No chance at beating Carroll if he wrestles like he did today. I hope cole beats the **** out of him. Just not likely the way he’s looked his last 3 bouts

You sound like youth travel baseball coach. Good luck
