Not going to throw too much shade (I say this not having seen all the matches), but Iowa State wasn’t shooting a ton either but was good defensively.
Overall, Iowa State was more aggressive by far. Just from a production standpoint here are the numbers:
0 tds - Iowa 6 guys, Iowa State 4 guys
1 td - Iowa 3 guys, Iowa State 0 guys
2 tds - Iowa 0 guys, Iowa State 3 guys
3+ tds - Iowa 1 guy, Iowa State 3 guys
So 6 Iowa State wrestlers scored multiple takedowns (Bastida-3, Frost-3, Echemendia-4, Zerban-2, Gaitan-2, Elam-2), while only 1 Iowa wrestler scored multiple. Zerban had the only near-fall points (3) in the dual and in my opinion Gaitan should have been awarded 2 as well in OT.
