Michigan wins 125 149 157 Hwt
Rutgers wins 133 165
Toss ups 141 174 184 197
I see Michigan 6-4 or 7-3
Pretty close to my prediction. I see it as bad as 8-2 with best case 6-4. They've had a lot of time off, and Penn State was not an indication of readiness - too outclassed to tell. If he even wrestles, will Olivieri be in shape after all that time off?

These are the types of matches that Rutgers needs to win. If we can't beat Michigan in a down year when will we?
I’m kind of viewing this as a transition year for Rutgers. Next year you have Knox and the 2 Harer stepping into the lineup plus Barbosa ,SCW and Cotten back chapman at 174. Next years team has a much higher dual and tournament ceiling and hopefully will be a lot more aggressive minded team too.

this years team has an undersized 125, Shawver ,Clark ,White,catka have all peaked already. Pinto hasnt looked good , JO has been gone so long someone should filed a missing person. This years team is what it is.

This team is putrid.
We never win a match we are not favored in and lose plenty.

Goodale should not be the voice thy hear in the corner. Need to get some real coaches. This staff is a joke.

Could not have had a less impressive start to match. No juice, take crowd out if it. Getting shellacked.

Question for the people who know wrestling – – why did Pinto take that shot near the end and put himself at risk? He couldn’t win without two takedowns, which wasn’t going to happen, and even a stall wouldn’t hurt him at that point – – why?

Trying to get match score under 8 which woulda saved a team point...

Bc he has no real coaches telling him situations, etc

and team is so weak physically. Every team is stronger then us.

O man this is so bad, not only getting the sh*t kicked out of us but their wrestler rubbing it in. Once again, I'm here and this absolutely sucks.
SCW got his *** kicked... Shouldn't be jawing after the match... I don't like Michigan... But he was only responding for SCW to look at the scoreboard

Missed that part. I was more interested in finding out my prize from the box of Cracker Jacks I snuck in. Anyway, it's a decent crowd imagine if we were any good this place would be packed.

What’s the score? Iowa getting crushed Peterson got crushed Ferrari against Welsh. Should be a good one.

I’ve never seen such poor mat wrestling from a team as a whole. Non stop sit outs and roll attempts. Head on the mat, hips downs. Feet flying in the air. Little to no hand control. It’s like high school mat wrestling

Nice win by Smith. Wish he would attack earlier. Hes so quick. He has the ability

good for Shawver to grind out a win but should not be that close.

I was happy to see Gibson wrestle. Would of been great if he pulled it out. He made some scoring attempts at least. It kind of looks like we're in the bottom 3 of the conference this year. Starting to think Crackers is right about 141. Very coincidental that this incident happened at the same time as the other two were busted. Either way, just let the kid wrestle. Who gives a ****.
