Nebraska showed up better than any other opponent so far. Maybe they were caught looking ahead to Penn State because they looked awful against Iowa last week. Anyway, a recap:
125 - Lilledahl
Yes, it was against an unranked opponent but Luke looked great starting off the dual with a TF.
133 - Blaze
Van Dee didn’t show much offense and Blaze didn’t put himself out of position and won a workmanlike decision with the only TD of the match.
141 - Scooter
Came out like a cannon shot with the 1st TD and was looking great until gassing out in the 3rd and getting pinned. Then the belly tap and the kick... Anyway, who had the only fall being by Nebraska on their bingo card?
149 - Van Ness
Once again spotting the opponent some points, Lamer showed some heart keeping Van Ness to a Decision.
157 - Duke
One less undefeated wrestler for Cael to worry about, the defending champ did just enough to eke out a win and attract thousands of new viewers to his exciting style of wrestling. Duke will get him next time. Book it.
165 - Psycho
Just unreal. There’s not enough superlatives to describe his wrestling. Another TF against a future multiple AA.
174 - Haines
The push out of bounds was surprising and out of character. Minto, to his credit, came to wrestle and kept it to a Decision.
184 - Welsh
Welsh with an impressive and very active Major against Allred.
197 - Barr
It was looking like another TF by Barr until a late TD by McDanel. Props to McDanel for not breaking like most opponents to Barr in the 3rd.
Heavy - Mirasola
Oh so close to the upset. This is another where I think Mirasola will get him next time. AJ celebrates again with a split after his inspiring 2-1 victory.
BJC Production Value
The Ref seemed to really enjoy being booed.
