Iowa vs Oklahoma State

[mcpat]

19-3 tech in 6:07 and had riding time locked too. Forrest over Ayala.

 

[OzarkLion]

My goodness, Jax is unreal!

 

[Efejle]

I don't see anyone beating that kid. Best case scenario is for Marcus on the other side.

 

[Misalorales]

I thought so too but I guess they called it reaction time.

I just want to know what a take down is again.

 

[mcpat]

Does Ayala even place this year?

 

[The Pitchfork Rebel]

Ayala is getting his butt whooped

The way he's wrestling he won't get past Big 10's.

 

[Misalorales]

Jax's voice is not what i expected lol

 

[Tradewinds42]

Jax is fun to watch!

Seidel all but beat him last week.

 

[BobPSU92]

I’m relatively new at this, so bear with me. Forrest is from Johnstown, PA. Did PSU recruit him hard? I would guess so given his resume.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

That match was pretty much a microcosm of the gap between Pennsylvania Wrestling and Iowa Wrestling.

 

[pish69]

Pretty damned impressive by Forrest. Hoping Blaze/Forrest is like Taylor/Dake except we’re Dake and he’s Taylor

 

[Misalorales]

 

[jstross]

133 has 5 freshman in the intermat top 7. That's crazy.. Three true freshman.

 

[Efejle]

The good news of course is that takes points away from Ohio State and Davino also at Nationals. But, busted out Ayala or not, that **** was a statement. Oddly, I feel like the only guy who actually CAN Keep it close against him is Blaze.

 

[mcpat]

Everyone recruited him. At the same time, our freshman at 133 was the previous class’s top recruit (Duke and Blaze were 1-2) and I think our guy is even 2-1 against him across all styles. Someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

 

[RBOld]

Does Ayala even place this year?

No chance. He's 9-7 and his best win this year was Van Dee.

Seidel said hold my beer.

 

[zzs006]

I don't see anyone beating that kid. Best case scenario is for Marcus on the other side.

He barely escaped just last week against another freshman. He’s absolutely beatable. This was an absolutely incredible performance and Jax is talented enough to win it all but I still think he’s behind Blaze, Davino and maybe Byrd. Blaze matches up extremely well against him

 

[bwc]

That was impressive. He's certainly way stronger than he looks. I'm going to assume he's super flexible, in the mold of Brock Hardy, but turning against the knee joint always makes me nervous.

 

[FrankTanks]

I will say this. Iowa’s program is a mess right now. Every season they regress as the season goes on. I am shocked at Ayala. Not just getting TF’ed, but I believe he’s lost 7 or 8 matches this year. He was a finalist the last 2 years and a favorite to win it all this year. Is he hurt, disinterested or has the Iowa program destroyed him. I don’t see Drake as a guy not working hard or disinterested. Just shocked how far he’s dropped. He might not even AA this year. Wow!

 

[RBOld]

The good news of course is that takes points away from Ohio State and Davino also at Nationals. But, busted out Ayala or not, that **** was a statement. Oddly, I feel like the only guy who actually CAN Keep it close against him is Blaze.

Seidel literally lost 10-9 last week and took him down three times.

I’m relatively new at this, so bear with me. Forrest is from Johnstown, PA. Did PSU recruit him hard? I would guess so given his resume.

Forrest is from North Carolina, IIRC. But, yes, went to high school at Bishop McCort in Johnstown PA. Pretty sure most every big time college wrestling program (including PSU) recruited Forrest, but Okie State always seemed to have the inside track.

Close? Blaze will beat him. He isn't pulling that sh&t against Blaze or Davino.

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

That was the 1st time Ayala has lost by TF at Iowa.

 

[RBOld]

Close? Blaze will beat him. He isn't pulling that sh&t against Blaze or Davino.

If PSU really wanted Jax they'd have gotten him IMO, Cael made the choice and went with Blaze.

 

[Psalm 1 guy]

Unless you can match Forrest's scrambling ability and also have a solid offense, I think Marcus' style is a style that can slow down and beat Forrest. It definitely has a Taylor (Forrest) vs. Dake (Marcus) feel to it.

 

[Fredolay]

I don't see anyone beating that kid. Best case scenario is for Marcus on the other side.

Jax is fun to watch!

I got Ono next year!

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

It helped that Okie State hired PSU great David Taylor as their new HC. Taylor had a prior relationship with Forrest as a highschooler via his training gym at the time in PA.

141- Sergio Vega vs. Kale Petersen

Period 1:
Scrambling, but no scoring 0-0 after the 1st.

Period 2:
Petersen takes neutral. Petersen shoots & gets a leg. Vega locks through the crotch. They scramble & Petersen almost catches Vega on his back, but Vega rolls through. They keep scrambling. Vega is locked on a leg & it's a stalemate. Circling & tying up to end the period. 0-0

Period 3:
Vega takes down. He sits up, gets hand control & an easy escape, 1-0. Tying up & hand fighting through the first minute. Peterson shoots & gets in deep on a leg. Vega locks through the crotch, then locks up a cradle. He takes Peterson to his back & gets the fall.

Serigo Vega FALL Kale Peterson

Team Score:
OKST: 14
IOWA: 0

 

[trufan]

Iowa wrestlers just get lost in scrambles

 

[Misalorales]

Jesse mendez is going to finish quick enough to avoid Vegas scrambles and Vega isn't showing the neutral offense to pull that upset off. Been wrong plenty before but I'm not seeing vega beating mendez.

 

[Shifty15]

I don't see anyone beating that kid. Best case scenario is for Marcus on the other side.

Obviously you missed the Seidel match…different ref and Seidel gets swipes and wins. Jac had one seven point move…rest of the match was Seidel.

 

[donboy6499]

Not going under there for Peterson is basically agreeing to lose 1-0.

 

[Fredolay]

Seidel all but beat him last week.

The good news of course is that takes points away from Ohio State and Davino also at Nationals. But, busted out Ayala or not, that **** was a statement. Oddly, I feel like the only guy who actually CAN Keep it close against him is Blaze.

Ono next year will be a classic

 

[The Pitchfork Rebel]

Iowa might be blanked.

 

[mcpat]

Iowa isn’t winning this time

 

[zzs006]

You can NOT shoot below the knee with head inside on Vega. He’s deadly from there

 

[OzarkLion]

Iowa's getting cradled left and right tonight

 

[BobPSU92]

Damn. Petersen was holding his own. One mistake, done.
