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.

Wow ... Chase seems to be losing faith ... doesn't think any of our guys know how to pin.
We will be in our gas tank finishing in our training cycle. They are going to focus on full blast for 7 minutes and takedowns, not pinning combos.

Fair, but how many shots?

Dresser is a very good coach and I think they’re a better-funded program than maybe gets talked about nationally. Our dual with them and Big 12’s will be a dogfight to win
Well they've rev share $ and most programs don't. As a university they weren't gonna raise the full 20.5 which allowed them to raise $ and donate it and get it back in rev share. Iowa st took $ from reserves to get to 20.5 . You gotta be able to trust the AD and administration to do that. Some institutions would keep that $ and not give it back to wrestling

If Jax decides to enroll 2nd semester and start the clock, I would love to see him at 133 for the iowa and isu duals

Will be Frost I have a feeling
It will be Frost. Apparently he was sick according to Dresser.

Should be a great dual.

Spratley vs Poulin- 3-0 OSU
Ronnie or Jax vs Frost but I'll use Ronnie just because- 3-3 (that being said I think Ronnie could jump levels)
Vega vs Echemendia. Ech will be the closest thing to Mendes that Vega will see. I'm going Vega- 6-3 OSU
Jamison vs Frost- I expect Tagen to come out and look like 1st semester Tagen on full feed- 9-3 OSU
Robideau vs Zerban- did anyone watch Zerban and think anything other than LROB majors? 13-3 OSU
Lockett vs ?- 18-3 OSU
Facundo vs Gaitan- By then Facundo's finishes will be on point he's getting so much better. 21-3 OSU

I'll skip the rest. Cowboys win :cool:
