Penn State - Rutgers dual thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
It's a good thing Barr stalled that 2nd period so he had the energy to score 21 points in the 3rd.
#2 Kerkvliet vs. #7 Yaraslau Slavikouski (YS)
242.4 vs. 240.4
Per 1
Kerk nearly gets a leg but YS backs out of it. They are on the edge. Kerk reaches for a leg, nothing. Kerk shoots, nothing. Stall warning on YS. Kerk sort of shoots, nothing. Stoppage for blood with 0:29 left (Kerk's nose, I think). End
Per 2
Kerk takes bottom. Kerk with a roll for the esc in 2 sec, 1-0. Stoppage for interlocking hands with 1:01 left. Kerk shoots a double, YS sprawls, nothing. End RT @ 0:02 for YS.
Per 3
YS takes neutral. (Not sure why, YS has yet to really shoot.) Kerk in on a double, but YS backs off the mat. Stoppage and a stall call on YS. Goodale throws the brick. Seems like a waste to me. After review, the call is confirmed. 2-0. YS sort of reaches, nothing. YS kind of reaches, nothing. End. 2-0, DEC for Kerk
35-3, PSU

Tyler Kasak interview:
Q: congratulations
- thank you
Q: are you feeling good you'r wrestling free
- I'm feeling relaxed, getting used to the big crowds, everyone is just building into March. There's a lot more I have to offer, and week-to-week, we keep building and enjoy the process
Q: talk about your top game
- working with Coach Casey. Where to put your pinky, your thumb, evolving off of that in making it your own. I'm liking how it's coming together
Q: how much are you enjoying being a part of this team
- I love wrestling after Shayne, he's a point scorer. Watching him do his thing. Leading off Mitchell --- he's just awesome. I'll tell him stories about fishing adventures or hunting adventures -- we have fun before matches
Q: big one coming up next week
- there's no denying, I've had this marked on my calendar since the schedule came out. I'm looking forward to the tough guys versus the technique guys. It's going to be a really, really good time.

I'm going to turn Byers off, as I have to get up really early tomorrow, and am reffing all day. It's been fun.
Only thing Rutgers did was give hands to the face, stall and run away. No shots after 125. What match were you watching. This was Iowa jr terrible wrestling.
Refs tonight seemed quicker than usual to call stallingā¦ both teams, all positionsā¦ one side complained!
I think the guy that Barr wrestled completely gave up. His mindset must have been Iām not going to play this game of let me up take me down. Iāve won at high levels before and this is beneath me. Even though he was let up and taken down in the3rd 4 times lol. 
Last week, I think I saw it on the other board for what it's worth, that Kerk had the flu and that SVN was his roommate and they were wondering if he caught the flu from Kerk after he lost . Nothing I can verify.
3 Penn State wrestling takeaways and full results from a 35-3 win over Rutgers: Josh Barr shines and more
Penn State won nine of 10 bouts en route to a 35-3 win over Rutgers on Friday night. It was the Lions' 65th consecutive dual victory.
Besides Barr the whole squad looked sluggish. They have one dual every year like this. Itās usually because Cael pushes them hard that week from my recollection. Possibly to prepare them for Iowa in a week. Iām not worried.
I was thinking the same thing about the guy Barr wrestled. He looked like he may have been sick or something also.
You know you have an embarrassment of riches when your team is lethargic and is able to eke out a 35-3 win on the road over a team with nine ranked wrestlers.
Not sure where else to put this since the Iowa thread isnāt up yet. Not sure the team needs any bulletin board material to motivate but here we go
Can't be at peak constantly. Training takes this into account and there will be duals that look like this. The whole year is built around peaking at NCAAs. And probably Iowa
I thought Rutgers wrestled extremely hard...they were just outmanned. This is about as Rutgers as you can get...
