Walker looked like he didn't want to wrestle. He was watching the other mats after he would get ran out of bounds.

Ayala looks to be peaking at the right time. Not a common occurrence with Iowa but he definitely seems to be wrestling the best he has all season

I was just thinking I find myself rooting against all the guys who dyed their hair— Forrest, Peterson, Larkin… I don’t get it. Hopefully the hair dye doesn’t get on Luke’s hands again tomorrow.
Still better than Franks that one year...
