Wow Duke. That was a heck of a match. Our guys are wrestling at a very high level today.
What will that do to PJ's ranking- up or down?
I hope we’re not peaking too soon
This is just the winter peak. Sorta like going over the appalachians before hitting the Rockies.I hope we’re not peaking too soon
If PJ continues to be undefeated without giving up a take down I have him cracking the top ten a couple of duals into the B1G season.

Duke should be ranked higher next week. Maybe flow will bump Penn State up from #3.
That was as good a test as you can ask for for Duke. Incredible defense, and a clutch takedown, chain wrestling throughout. They both looked gassed, I thought Duke looked even more tired at one point. What a great match, though, Cardenas came close and Duke just wrestled better.

Something tells me the average margin of victory over the streak is going up.
It was a great learning experience for Duke when Cardenas committed to the ride/stall. That gassed Duke a bit. He will be better from this.
Beating a Rutgers Elite opponent won't be enough?
Maybe. But only if he is a 3X or 4X BIG Qualifier.
Good to see you dogI hope we’re not peaking too soon

KD is sitting a few rows behind me. It is funny, when PJ and Rocco wrestle KD is hollering more instructions from the bleachers than the PSU coaching staff is. It is fairly quiet in here so you can hear him over everyone.
Everyone will have trouble finishing on Ferrari. That said, Ferrari will struggle to finish on Rocco. That match is 1-1 going to SV.
