I don't know how I am so optimistic when Cael has never proven to know which duals to peak for or how to have a team ready to crush tOSU. Tan Tom does have the better program but for some odd reason I think Cael may have the better team, but just this one time.
Watching Iowa match yesterday only Mendez and nic were really assertive in their approach. 133 was similar although he was t remarkable but keeps winning, Even though nic was on his knee he kept moving forward and attacking. Mirasola made a mistake in his match last week not understanding that 25 seconds were left in a tight match. He tried to force something and Mich guy who wasn’t that great stalled whole 3rd period because he could. Feldman seems way out of shape. Only 237 lbs.
Did they say what happened to him. He was grabbing his side at the end when he was twisted. I would think osu would want this victory though. Take down psu end the streak.
TT has a history of sitting guys, if I recall correctly.
Peterson cranked the crap out of his body in the last 5 seconds of the match.
I’m not sure why Bouzakis fought the TD so hard. His knee, then right side, were really in bad positions. He was up by 4 so he could have conceded
I think Mendez will TF Davis. If Braden gets himself into bad positions like he often does, he won't be able to get out of it against Mendez and give up the fall. Nothing would make me happier than to be wrong about this.125- LL over NB 7-4 PSU 3 tOSU 0

Nic did nothing after that first period flourish.
Watching Bouzakis matches this year and especially the last couple, I believe as long as LL’s within a takedown after the first period, he wins. If LL gets the first takedown and give up no big moves(nearfall), an MD wouldn’t completely surprise me.
Who goes at 141 will be interesting. Was that Nate’s last free date to use? Actually think there might be a better chance he’d avoid getting pinned. Davis is still adjusting to the weight and with being dinged up, wouldn’t mind seeing him get another week off.
I don't think we see NB for the OSU at 125. Levi is a bad matchup for anyone, especially Karch, so I'll go major. Allred beat Fishback, so I'm giving Rocco a major here too, because he's jumped levels in the PSU room.125- LL over NB 7-4 PSU 3 tOSU 0

I've watched at least 3 of his matches, and he's on one knee alot.
The offseason talk about the incoming class was rightly focused mainly on PJ, Blaze, Ono, and a bit on Henkel. But Desmond has been the biggest surprise for me, he’s skyrocketed past expectations imo. Going to really be interesting to see how he gets into the lineup over the next few years. What a legendary freshman class we have this year.
Fishback was not impressive last night .
I thought Nate really looked big last night. I can see why Cael hinted he'll never see 125 in the future. I do wonder after NEXT year if he could go 149 to replace SVN especially IF Ono ever got TWO years. Luke, Marcus, Ono, Nate...whew!!!
Because he was hoping the ref would bail him out with a PD stoppage. That's something that drives me crazy by the way. If it's an uncontrollable situation, then sure blow the whistle. But guys shouldn't be able to intentionally put themselves in bad positions to get saved.
Yep, Dean Peterson wrestles with an edge. Unless my eyes deceived me, it was apparent he twisted Nic like a piece of licorice at the end of the bout, and Nic came out of it holding his right side.
We must have been watching different screens. Ragusin is new to 141 and not big at that weight, but he appeared to tower over Desmond. Major size differential. With my eyes, I could see maintaining 125 long-term being difficult for Desmond, but IMO he is more than one off-season away from being a "full-sized" 141, let alone jumping to 149 (barring a growth spurt).
Most accurate take i have seen
In a word, quickness. Live up the Lightning Luke moniker by getting quick takedowns and not getting into a position where Bouzakis can use that strength. Getting ahead early and forcing Bouzakis to wrestle from behind. Given a choice take neutral.
Looked like his lower back on the replay and I know from experience that can keep one down a while.
It would be wild to see Ono at 141. Totally surprise Tan Tom and preserve Desmond's RS.
SVN still back next year
It took me a minute to figure out the "wtf" in your 165 pick. I thought it was like, "WTF? Why would you pick anything else?"125- LL over NB 7-4 PSU 3 tOSU 0

And blow a year of eligibility for Ono? He is not a freshman, so one match takes him out of redshirt.
