PSU - Northwestern '26 Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Hopefully Zain can teach him how to create an angle on his shot as well…
I know Braeden lost at Iowa but I'm starting to see glimpses from him. I think he's better than he's ever been. Not much to go from I know but he just looks more sound in everything he's doing.
157- #3 PJ Duke vs. Gunnar Myers
Period 1:
Here we go! PJ throws in an underhook. Myers drops to his knees, then gets a leg. PJ sprawls back hard, then works to his feet, gets a leg & finishes the TD, 3-1. PJ cuts Myers, 3-1. PJ immediately drags, then comes behind & trips Myers to the mat for another TD, 6-1. NW throws the brick. I think they're challenging that Myers didn't fully have the escape before PJ got his 2nd TD. They're questioning the release.
Challenge won, score changed back to 3-0 PJ. No escape & TD. Myers starts down. PJ cuts Myers, 3-1. PJ tries 2 on 1, but Myers pulls away. Myers shoots. PJ goes 2 on 1 again, then tries a trip, but no luck. PJ drops to a leg & finishes another TD, 6-1. Myers gets the escape, 6-2. Myers shoots, PJ counters & finishes another TD, 9-2. PJ cuts Myers, 9-3. Myers shoots. PJ counters & comes behind for another TD, 12-3. PJ cuts Myers, 12-4. PJ shoots a double. Myers counters & gets a leg. Stalemate & neutral restart. PJ shoots a quick double. Myers gets a a leg, but PJ finishes the TD, 15-4 & has Myers on his back. PJ gets the FALL!!!

Agree. Just looks sharper and avoiding those risky scrambles he got into last year that usually cost him. Think Davis is going to do well. Needs a big win here coming up in the regular season
I actually disagree with those who say he is not as strong at 141 as before at 125 and 133: I have seen most this year and Davis looks like one of the strongest 141 pounders out there. His ride is absolutely brutal. Just needs to keep doing what he is doing. Damn right he can get on the podium in March.
He actually looks big at 141. How was he 125 two years ago? LOL.
38 take downs to 1. Love how active and aggressive this group is.
Looked plenty strong to me. His primary problem is the same - Neutral Offense against quality competition. When he tries to get on his Neutral Offense against high quality opponents, his defense goes bye-bye.
380 to 19 team scoring differential now.
True, also their lone backup 157 has not wrestled this year at all.
Something we take for granted: Northwestern has long had a problem with roster size -- it's typically around 18-22 total including redshirts. It's partly internal Title IX compliance, and partly that NW is really freaking expensive if you're a walk-on. Also NW is like Stanford with grad admissions, so they lose a lot of graduating seniors with remaining eligibility (like Davison making the national finals at Michigan).
Penn State wrestling wins its 80th straight match by shutting out Northwestern 51-0.

welp, there goes my prediction
33rd shoutout at PSU for CS (if I heard Byers correctly)
Meh. 51-0 over a field hockey school.
I get a 404 error on line and a message in the app that the station is no longer available.
Branden Wentzel was on the trip and weighed in at 125 but I don't see him on the roster online odd. He's listed in track and certed. Pat needs to add him
Soon as I posted this is saw a tweet from Pyles about what Ben was talking about and that he thinks he knows what it is. And then saw Ben tweeting about it.
I wish he had a full year to grow into the weight. I do think he's gonna get horsed around a bit by bigger 141s
Good lord. I mean I take the dogs out for a walk in the woods, and by the time I get to the winery for a post walk drink this thing is over. Still… an awfully nice day to be outside in the valley.
thanks Pete.
thanks Pete.

PSU's intern will get around to it just as soon as they update Cenzo's weight from 149.
I have noticed this now a few times with Marcus. He is great at keeping his hands low in scrambles and catching an opponent's ankle.
Agree with this as well. Neutral Offense and Defense definitely needs to improve. Do that and he can place high on the Podium at the Big Ten tournament in the BJC and Nationals. Wrestling RBY can improve him in that area. Will see we have some big matches coming up soon
I don't know but he must really like the taste of Resilite. I don't think he even tried to lift his face off the mat once in 7 minutes.
