Penn State has released its match notes for Friday's showdown with Ohio State. Not going to read too much into it, but no projected lineup is listed for the Lions, which is unusual.
NOTES: Nittany Lions Host Buckeyes in B1G Wrestling Battle

Some were saying they thought Desmond could wrestle with Mendez so if they think that then they've to think Davis can
Well there’s the risks that Braeden takes in that calculus …
I'm actually surprised he has that many losses, I would have guessed a fewer than 13.
Or perhaps Scooter pulls an Ant the Champ match off reminiscent of Cassar vs. Kellen Moore.
Why in the world would Mendez play it tight? He has been on record of pushing himself to be in the Hodge contention with MM - you think he is going to try to win 5-2?
If there was more evidence that Davis was all the way back and his lungs were in good shape, I'd be inclined to agree. However, if he gasses late in the 2nd it could get ugly. Remember the guy was on the couch, eating Bon Bons and binge watching Industry a short while ago before he was called into service.
I am sticking to my 6 match wins for Penn St, 4 wins da O$U. If Cannon wrestles, I could see 5-5 match count. Yes, I generally am a pessimistic person.
Moore was good, but nowhere near Mendez.Or perhaps Scooter pulls an Ant the Champ match off reminiscent of Cassar vs. Kellen Moore.
Does Scooter have Turbo power? We saw some of it against Hardy. If he added some charge to his battery, that could be interesting. Scooter Power
I think he has a pattern of wrestling smart in matches he can get stung in. He's smart enough a wrestler to know that Davis can sting him a little bit, he's a Big Ten champ and AA.
Mendez has looked really good and he's been looking to score and keep scoring. It would shock me if it's a regular decision
Whatever the decision is Mendez should give Scooter a belly tap for the extra team point.
Maybe Scooter can shock the world and give out belly taps after….
Fair enough. Not going to argue with any of that, major wouldn't shock me I just think decision is most likely outcome (and pin, really, if Davis decides to be frisky).
He might opt for a noogie instead.
What would shock me would be you, making any kind of post other than passive aggressive penn state hater posts.
Lol I pick Penn st guys all the time. I have Duke winning 157. Also I was sticking up for Desmond a week ago. Also said Blaze is winning 133 . Looks like you only remember what you want to
That's beyond pessimistic. It's PSU 8-2, or 7-3 at worst.
We really need to stop with the sitting on the couch thing. I know (at least I think) you are somewhat joking but the kid was in the room everyday working. He might not have been pulling weight, but he was training. His tank right now is what his tank will likely be. Davis is just one of those guys that is a little sloppy and against high level competition gets himself in trouble. He is good enough to beat anybody but his holes mean he can lose matches he shouldn't.
He did but it wasn't due to lack of training. Might have been adrenaline dump, Might be his tank isn't great. The point is he has been training this time.
I don’t want to start another ‘where I’m from they call that this’, but where I’m from it was called a ‘dutch rub’
.Davis has went gangbusters in his matches. He has wobbly legs third period but by NCAA I expect his shape will be top notch. Kid is a gamer but Mendez is special.
Heck yeah!
If he beats Mendez can we start a GoFundMe for a scooter with a guard over the battery?
It is not in the Cael or PSU style to be defensive but if they did wrestle defensively based how low scoring and close the last couple years against us were I think he could definitely keep it to a major. However, that is not in our DNA and the more BD attacks the bigger the problem may be for us.
I know I'm so against Penn st I just have them with 6 champs this year . I know you will unblock me to read this because you can't help yourself. I also have Penn st with 185 points I know I'm such a hater.
