What a great dual! Let’s see…one 1 point loss by a gassed Davis still swinging for the fences til the end? Not to mention, he just came out of redshirt a couple weeks ago…yeah I’ll take tonight’s result!

A very enjoyable evening of wrestling.
So how fast does Ferrari drive tonight to ease his pain?

I disagree on Caliendo, he didn’t do anything. He used to at least try against MM. He’s stopped that and is just happy to try to keep it close.
Will Lewan even says AF is boring to watch.
Our Coaches did an outstanding Job scouting and preparing our guys. Worse loss EVER Iowa had in Carver Arena 
Someone find that 2010 Iowa beat article about how Iowa will always be on top
Davis is walking to Evanston.
Actually I think we wrestled better than I thought we would: Flight was delayed, got in very very late, hardly any time to recover, then went out and did what we do every season at Carver: What nobody else can do. Forget about the scores because everything at Carver is always far less than a neutral mat.
He gases wrestling that style, imagine how he would gas if he wrestled hard for 7 minutes.
Did Iowa have more stall calls than takedowns?
They did fight, but it seemed like most of their guys had long periods of inactivity in every match

Penn State won nine of 10 matches en route to handing Iowa its worst home loss ever. The Lions knocked off the Hawkeyes 32-3 to win their 79th consecutive match.

Rocco and Cole made my whole weekend!
Can’t wait till the Big Ten Tournament in the BJC watching live. Everyone get your tickets now. Great team that may be our best.
By the way the difference in the Ferrari match to his other opponents is that Rocco is far FAR stronger than anyone else at the weight. Yes I am including Mac.
The last 5 weights yes the lower 5 were all good matches, calendar started the "I dont want to actually wrestle this guy" iot got boring.
As a wrestling fan, I am sorely disappointed that Angelo Ferrari will be around to stain our sport for 3+ more years. That's all.
Davis will beat that guy in the Big Ten tournament at the BJC. He’s just getting back into form.
Sorry if this was discussed during the meet, but what are the chances they encourage stall calls when kneeling in neutral. that's all it is and is as bad for the sport as cam amine and will lewan
Ferrari answered with an astounding 7 minutes on one knee....what a pud!
Interview with Cole:
Q: I feel like you're getting better and turning the corner
- I'm just trying to get better every match, and get these guys moving. I feel good after the break
Q: Talk about the TD
- I got the same position against the Rutgers guy, but I jumped in the wrong way. Tonight I jumped the right way, got my leg out, and got the TD
Q: talk about the environment (at CHA)
- I've watched PSU wrestler here since I was a kid. It was really cool
Q: biggest thing you've adjusted in the past month
- I think I just feel like I can go beat these guys
Q: Welsh beats Ferrari. Talk about that one
- I love having him on the team, he's a great guy, and he's a great wrestler
Q: talk about your brother, and your dad
- me and my brother have been doing this our whole lives. Cool to do that with my dad here, as he drove us to all the stuff
Q: Biggest margin of victory
- it was fun. It is part of the process. We do our thing, and the process will play out
Q: How much do you guys enjoy the road trips, the hanging out; how important are they
- I think they help us connect with our teammates and coaches, and it's a lot of fun
Q: in the room, talk about the different feel and looks
- everyone at Penn State is a world-class person and wrestler. There's nowhere else me and my teammates would rather be

BEST PROGRAM IN THE WORLD BY FAR
That is the crazy thing for me......when those guys had to, they showed great skill, yet most of their matches were snoozefests. I don't understand it.
Don't discard what Blaze did: That was the real Drake Ayala out there. The one who took Byrd into deep water and should have won the national championship last year, and Blaze beat him on a mat he never loses on. Blaze got out of that throw by and I have never seen anyone get out of that. Much bigger win than will be mentioned. That version of Ayala tonight would beat Forrest and probably anyone else.
Well done!
We CANNOT have a let down on Sunday. Our guys Must Stay Focused and intense.
Like an earthquake in a 3rd world country, the field has been leveled.Our Coaches did an outstanding Job scouting and preparing our guys. Worse loss EVER Iowa had in Carver Arena
Another thing: I think Luke is coming around now ...
I swear, I'm sitting here watching Minnesota vs Nebraska in the background and I hear " green you're warned for stalling" and almost added another stall to my sheet for Iowa... Muscle memory watching them I suppose.
