Congrats Nate! First dual win of his career. Love this move. Give him 5 dates and then have him wrestle off Nagao for the spot
Looks like a pretty nice venue and crowd.

Hill really borderline with the left and right crosses
Gave up 3 takedowns already!! That's an entire weekend's worth.
We have us a new pinning machine.
Glad Duke pinned him. Thought Hill was really pushing the boundary of tough vs dirty
Good for PJ, Hill was a punk there in his hand fighting.
That looked to be his whole gameplan, I'm surprised the ref let it go as long as he did.
Wyoming came to fight and battle hard, but unfortunately for them..so did we
Kinda like flo, they just assign any random number before the wrestlers name.
The announcers just said that the rankings are equivalent to how many escapes each wrestler has had this year, so it makes sense.
Anyone else but me concerned that Cael's team is getting soft?
Nate moving up to get in the lineup has hints of Tyler Kasak 2 years ago.
3 TD in Carver is definitely a weekend's worth.
The Wyoming arena looks pretty nice and that mat is pretty cool looking.
Who really thinks there’s 7 wrestlers that should be ranked above PJ?
If you're wondering what the ceiling looks like, ask a cowboy.
Still early but PJ Duke is on pace to become Penn State's all-time pin leader.
Manning will be upset with the minimal amount of regard PJ will show last year's champ.
That could be more TDs than Iowa will get the entire dual.
165- #1 Mitchell Mesenbrink vs. Sloan Swan
Period 1:
Time to carve up the Swan for dinner! Wildfowl is a tasty treat for a lion & Mitch looks hangry! Here we go! Mesenbrink presses forward. Swan shoots, Mesenbrink counters & finishes the TD, 3-0. Mesenbrink gets Swan bellied out. Mesenbrink cuts Swan, 3-1. Mesenbrink stalks forward. He reaches and gets a leg, then takes Swan to his back. He gets the TD, 6-1, plus 4 NF, 10-1. Mesenbrink tries a 2 on 1 tilt, but Swan rolls through. Mesenbrink gets an arm bar & runs Swan over. He gets swipes, then the FALL!!!
