He's about to get abused.
Bow and arrow. Somewhere Max Dean smiles
What a beast. We are going to see a lot of that this season
Good lord that looked painful. He would need to be scraped off the mat if Levi didn’t help him up.
I’m not a doctor but I’d hope Levi takes a week off practice.
I'm excited to see Welsh. I'll be honest. Haven't watched him wrestle hardly at all.
Kinda scary when Levi went down like that. I didn’t know if he got the wind knocked out of him or what, but the replay clearly showed he was out cold for a couple of moments. Glad they got him checked out right away. Good on Schmidt for stopping everything to make sure Levi was okay too
184: #2 Rocco Welsh vs. Anders Thompson
Period 1:
I don't know much about Rocco, but he's got a lot of tattoos. He looks like a badass. Let's hope he wrestles like one too, especially when the pressure is on. Expectations will be sky-high; this ain't Ohio State. A 5-2 win won't impress these fans. We demand domination!
Ryder's replacement Rocco is ready to roll! Here we go! Circling & tying up. Rocco snaps, then drops to a leg. He comes behind for the TD, 3-0. Rocco immediately cuts Thompson, 3-1. Circling & tying up. Rocco presses forward & reaches for an ankle, but can't finish. Rocco gets to a leg. Thompson locks around the crotch. Rocco keeps working & finishes another TD, 6-1.

Rocco drops to a leg & finishes another TD, 9-2. Rocco goes over 1-min riding time. Rocco rides out the period. 9-2 Rocco, +1:30 RT
Period 2:
Rocco takes down. He works to his feet, but Thompson brings him back to the mat. Rocco works back to his feet & gets the escape, 10-2. Circling, head tapping & tying up.

Because even if that was technically a sub concussive impact, compounding it with going right back into practice banging heads seem like a less than optimal decision?
No, he wasn't. It hurt. Get hit on the chin....it's painful. He went to get up right away and decided to take it easy.
Idk what part of “sub concussive impact” you took to mean concussion, but cool?
Wish it wasn’t against a tomato can, but really like the way Rocco gets to legs.
Good job by PSU wrestlers to make the dual fit into a two-hour BTN window.
Googles is confused as to how Rocco got so athletic.
Penn State had 35 takedowns to Oklahoma's 1. I'll take it.
Because you're implying that it could lead to one if it keeps happening. Unless you're taking a roundhouse from Mike Tyson, your brain isn't impacted by the way his chin hit there. It hurt, he was stunned. He took a moment and they played it safe. That's all
Do you know what a flash knockout is? He definitely went out for a split second. His body went limp and when he hit the ground he came to. He wasn’t concusssed and probably doesn’t need time off but he did he go out for a very short time. Watch it again
