Shayne, can you spot Young a 7-0 lead and win by tech fall without getting a turn?

The Nittany Lions won by technical fall and major decision twice and added a fall for good measure to lead Maryland 24-0 at halftime. Penn State has a 25-0 takedown edge heading into the second half.

First five results:

125 pounds: No. 1 Luke Lilledahl, PSU TF Abram Cline, Maryland, 19-4 (7:00) (PSU 5-0)
133 pounds: No. 4 Marcus Blaze, PSU MD No. 15 Braxton Brown, UMD, 15-3 (PSU 9-0)
141 pounds: No. 11 Braeden Davis, Penn State MD Dario Lemus, Maryland, 18-4 (PSU 13-0)
149 pounds: No. 1 Shayne Van Ness, PSU TF No. 7 Carter Young, Maryland, 32-15 (6:41) (PSU 18-0)
157 pounds: No. 3 PJ Duke, Penn State F Mekhi Neal, UMD, 1:54 (PSU 24-0)
Didn’t Young get a TD on SVN? Or rather, didn’t Young make the mistake of getting a TD on SVN? 😁

Damn it, Mitchell! I had a fall in KYPSW.

Did the Maryland kid take top? I think he did even though Byers didn't catch it. That was kind of weak, but, kind of smart by Rodriguez.

Atta boy, Duke! Again, Cael needs to worry about P.J. If someone doesn't beat him this year, I don't think he's going to lose. I know that is a bold prediction, but, he is that good!
Agree. PJ and Marcus have a great shot to be National Champions. I’d make that bet along with some others on our team. Great Test coming up against Nebraska and OSU.

I think Marcus is equally as talented, but, 133 is one of the absolute best and deepest weights that I can ever remember. I'm not saying he can't run the table, but, it's going to be much more challenging for him. 157 is a tough weight too, but, not on the level with 133.
