Curious how Davis does against Hardy. Hardy will let him in on his legs but he also will be baiting something that Braeden has to watch out for.

In terms of AJ vs Cole, I expect the coaches will have Cole take neutral. Don't waste any time under AJ. Cole being under 230 is basically a lock to get at least ridden for a minute by him if not ridden out. Hopefully the match being at PSU will have a referee that tells him to get off his knee.

Wrestle hard, learn from each match, get better, and be at your best in March.

Maybe Cole takes neutral, but if Cael sticks to his tenets, he will ask Cole to take down, IMO. The NCAAs might be different.

125- Luke MD over Kael Lauridsen 4-0 PSU
133
- Blaze dec over Jacob Van Dee 7-0 PSU (this will be close early and Marcus will pull away)
141- Scooter drops a dec to Hardy 7-3 PSU (Scooter could pull off an upset here)
149- SVN dec over Larmer 10-3 PSU (this could be a maj)
157 PJ dec over Antrell Taylor 13-3PSU (PJ too technically sound / wins a low scoring match)
165 Mitch dec over LJ Araujo 16-3 PSU (first match Mitch doesn't get a bonus)
174 Levi dec over Chris Minto 19-3 PSU (scrappy match and that plays to Levi's strength)
184. Rocco with a dec over Silas 22-3 PSU (Rocco will try to get the maj)
197. Barr dec over Camden Mcdaniel 25-3 PSU (this also will be close to a maj).
HVY Cole drops a dec to AJ in SV 25-6 PSU (Cole beats him in the post season however)

25-6 most likely...
21-10 worst case scenario
34-0 best case scenario


27-6 avg!

LOL this yr if a team can win 2 matches they consider it a victory!has that happened yet??
Two victories against?Yea, twice. Lehigh Nasdeo and Cole Mirasola lost. Wyoming both Mirasola's lost. This current iteration of starters only has 3 dual match losses. Cole Mirasola to to Carroll and Taylor and David to bailey.

Edit: Penn states Starters,the lineup we know now as their set lineup, are 115-3.

I think you're right but man, I can just picture how it's going to go if it's 0-0 after 1 and Cole takes down.

So who's going to sit in the front row, behind the Nebraska bench with a Texas trooper outfit on? When AJ comes out to wrestle they could stand up and hold out the handcuffs. That would be a riot!
Who? Singular? Get 4 Texas Trooper outfits. Have them standing up during intros. He may not even come out. He might get another speeding ticket racing out of State College. :)

I don't see why the need to reference PSU win streak before or after every match. I like Greg's writing or others in general. All PSU fans know already .If Cael wrote the headline it would maybe be that we face a tough opponent and our guys have a good opportunity to get better. More boring indeed but carries quiet strength and confidence with an attitude that we're out to win.

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies* movin'

Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope and throw and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide!
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!

Rawhide!

I don't remember if that was during this scene, but that scene where they announced themselves as the Good Old Boys was hysterical.

Because there is still one more relevant streak to break: 84 match unbeaten and untied shared by both Iowa and OkState when ties were a thing. A streak we can put
to bed entirely when we beat Ohio State.
