Carter better get in shape. He didn't have much from 1 min to go in 2nd on.
if I am not mistaken (and taking nothing from the Hawkeyes) but it seems to me that we often learn Months later that certain PSU wrestlers have had issues at certain points, injuries, flu, etc.) during the season. NOT making excuses, just saying.

I called it!! 3 touchdowns.
That Alaya not getting called for stalling to start sitting on one kneee really pissed me off. Sanderson will have to work with Davis on his leverage and beating that stall by knee tactic. A brands special!
Suck it iowa!!

Final thoughts:
After years of asking for it, Beau finally went on offense against Iowa! And looked confident doing it. Good for him.

Levi Haines is a DUDE

Starocci still looks off. Idk if he’s still sick, they’re working him hard, or what but his 3rd period isn’t there right now.

Wanted Kerk to really take it to Kueter, but in a way lying on top of him for 4 minutes counts.

Iowa fans make watching wrestling unenjoyable. Had tonight on mute basically the whole time. Shame really.
