I will admit, I’m not the most knowledgeable wrestling fan, but with all the one knee talk and moving to the edge, can’t our guys just go back to the middle of the mat to kinda make them wrestle? Or do they want to be on the edge for a potential stall call?
I too am intrigued by this, but I suspect teh answer is it's easier said than done. Other than the clown circling the edge with blaze this weekend, I think they usually get to the edge after being engaged.
Zain was good at just casually jogging back to the center when his opponent wanted to wrestle the match with his backside out of bounds.
Barr is going to demolish him.
Not a ref but we've seen this before. It's the right thing to do but often just wastes time, and it's counter-intuitive.
I see both Arnold and Ludington getting starts to protect seeds, if the dual is out of hand. I think the coaches will agree to start at the traditional 125. I'll even go as far as to say Kueter might sit.
Iowa's duck rate is typically a lot lower than other teams. I don't think they're going to just accept a shutout or really embarrassing score in that program. Too much pride. In fact, Iowa's biggest problem is that they haven't adapted away from the old Gable tough guy way of wrestling. There's no way in hell Gable would rest a guy to "protect a seed". Not a chance. I would be shocked if Brands did that.
Inserting Arnold and bumping PK and Ferrari just ensures that all three lose, and probably puts it on Kueter to avoid a shutout. There is no chance of that, none at all. A shut out loss in Carver would a gigantic black eye on the entire program, and they're already going to have to work hard to avoid it as is without making it even harder to avoid. Keeping Angelo matched with Rocco is probably their best shot at any weight.
I hope I am wrong and you are right
. I want to see all starters go.Another shutout would be pretty cool too.
Didn't get details but leaning the latter at this point because he hasn't been seen since Iowa State at this point.
Did he have the baby?
He did and found out he was wrestling Levi instead now and wanted the night off!Did he have the baby?
Here is how I see all of the Iowa might get a Carver or two win(s).
I don't see how you can call PSU an underdog at 184. The only thing that would surprise me here is a blowout in either direction.
Yeah, Arnold was 174 again for Soldier Salute. He was being a good teammate bumping two classes up against Utah Valley and Chattanooga, but you can't have be 5'2" or whatever at 197. If Ludington can't go, then it has to be someone else, Brody Sampson, I guess, although he would be out there against Barr just to hold the score to 5.
Marcus is also one of the Penn State wrestlers who I don't worry about getting thrown to their back. His positioning and mat intelligence are superb, especially for a freshman. A little off-topic, but Forrest Jax's "Funky Town" style might hinder him some in college, especially with the Neutral Danger rule in college. I wouldn't be shocked to see him give up the occasional Neutral Danger TD or even get thrown to his back a few times.
he got injured while having the baby!
1) no way it’s a shut out
