Lewan and Amine need to graduate and never step on a mat again
Wow is right. Completely owned Amine. He can run but he can’t hide
ha, I think you're safe to do so at this point. What an impressive performance.
Said it all year last year and again now. They don't do anything. They've probably taken less than 10 shots combined in their college careers against anyone with a pulse
Update from Byers: Starocci didn't work out last night or this morning. Barraclough weighed in at 165.8 because he can't go much higher due to the NCAA rules requiring not going too far above the weight you want to compete at for nationals if Mesenbrink would get hurt. So he's giving up plenty of pounds here.

Hell of a fight by Bearclaw. I shudder to think what Carter would have done to Griffith.
174: Terrell Barraclough vs. Shane Griffith (SG)
Barraclough weight in 165.8, I think Byers said
Per 1
Bear Claw sort of shoots, nothing. nothing thru 1:30. Stalemate for interlocking with 1:18 left. SG sort tries a throw-by, nothing. End
Per 2
Bear Claw defers, and SG takes bottom. SG tries a switch, blocked, then flattened. To his base, and then a stout, but Bear Claw is with him. SG works up. SG to his feet, Bear Claw throws in a leg and returns him. SG up again, and taken back down. Stoppage with 54 sec as a stall warning on Bear Claw. SG sites out, then back under, then up, and Bear Claw has him and they are dancing and then OOB with 33 sec. Caution on Bear Claw. SG hits a switch and gets a reversal, 0-2. End. RT @ 1:10 for Bear Claw. Michigan seems to have challenged that there should have been NF. On the replay, it's close, but I don't think he was past 45 degrees. Call is confirmed.
Per 3
Bear Claw takes neutral. A flurry, but nothing. Bear Claw reaches, nothing. Bear Claw in on a single, SG does a split with a whizzer. They are on the edge. SG trying to drag off the mat and Bear Claw trying to pull him in. SG gets free. End. With 1:10 in RT, it becomes a 1-2 DEC for Shane Griffith
7-3, PSU

Think for a moment how ridiculous it is that Penn State can bump a guy up a weight class on short notice and only surrender a decision to the No. 4 wrestler in the country despite giving up basically 10 pounds. Incredible.
Bearclaw should be very happy with that performance.
Definitely. Wow terrible call. But Bernie shouldn’t be in this situation. Needs to get attitude and more aggressive. This guy is stalling too.
184: Bernie Truax vs. Jaden Bullock (JB)
Per 1
Truax with a low single, and then shelfs it, and gets behind but they are on the feet, then briefly to the knees but JB spins and they are square. Stalemate with 2:26. Truax wants them to throw a brick, but PSU elects not to. PD stoppage with 2:21 left. Truax reaches, nothing, then JB shoots, nothing. 1:30 left. Truax with another low single but JB kicks out. Truax reaches agin with 1 min left, nothing. End
Per 2
JB defers, so Truax takes bottom. Caution on Truax. Truax to his feet, elevated, and then spins and out, 1-0. JB shoots and nearly has a double but they go OOB. A Michigan fan throws a hat out on the mat -- so classy. Truax with an ankle pick, JB with an ankle pick, then Truax shelfs it, and gets behind as they go OOB. Rivera says no TD, then the AR talks with him and they award the TD to Truax. 4-0. I'm not sure if they are doing a refs review or if JB had blood. Either way, a stoppage. The refs are definitely reviewing the video, and the TD is waved off, so it's 1-0, with 27 sec left. Truax with a reach, nothing. End. RT @ 7 sec for Truax
Per 3
JB takes bottom. JB up quickly and turns in for the esc in @ 3 sec, 1-1. RT not a factor. Truax reaches, nothing. Truax with undercooks, and then they are separated. Truax in on a low single, a stall call on JB, and Turn gets behind for the TD, 4-1. 30 sec left (about). Truax has a boot in. End It's a 4-1 DEC for Truax
10-3, PSU

Good call from Byers: Through the Truax match that’s now 16 straight bouts for Penn State without giving up a takedown.
Where is that ragisin interview? You know where everyone lays down against PSU and they Michigan are going to get after it.
All words until you step on the mat
Let him up. Our fan’s there need to help here. Brooks can tech fall if he keeps leaving him up.
Angel Rivera having, well, an Angel Rivera kind of night.
197: Aaron Brooks vs. Bobby Striggow (BS)

AB with a single to a double for the TD, 3-0. He's working a bar on the edge. AB guides BS OOB with 2:09 left. AB working a 2-on-1. He switches to a bar, but stoppage for PD as the arm came too far away from the body. 1:26 left. BS to his feet and out, 3-1. AB with an undertook and shrugs by for a TD, 6-1. He cuts BS, 6-2.

Per 2

Then he cuts him, 14-4. AB with another TD, 17-4. (They are showing 16-4). AB cuts him, 16-5. AB with a TD, 19-5. As they go OOB, with RT it's a TF @ 4:16

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
PSU leads at the break in the takedown battle, 9-0
