OMG! This team is on a mission from God! F Yeah! Marcus Blaze!
OK, now Ryan can throw all the third string guys out there....I kid, I kid.
Didn’t see the reversal coming, WOW , effen awesome!
Flashbacks of Josh Barr last year I believe
What an incredible first 2 matches! WOW!
wow. was worried about that one. heckuva job blaze
Love that he went for broke on the reversal! Great strategy, perfect execution!!!
Whiny Tan Tom is going to have all kinds of excuses for this one.
I didn’t love the match from Marcus but he just refuses to lose. Kid is something special
Funny that a kid with the name Blaze and all I think about is Ice when he's on the mat. As in, ice in those veins...
Damn that was fun, biggest smile I’ve ever seen from Marcus after a match
meanwhile over on HR this gem: Blaze stalling the whole match
I had my doubts during both matches. Bouzakis seemed like his strength might be too much and when Blaze didn't escape within 9 secs I thought he was done.
That was a little too close for comfort. Blaze & LL just landed a one two punch to the nuts.
I cannot believe Blaze got the reversal there!! What a stud!!
To be fair, I thought bouzakis should've been hit and I thought blaze could have been hit as well.
That's why you come to Penn State!
Agree. He is usually very stoic.

Two matches, one takedown (tell me they weren't exciting).
Both those matches will meet again with more at Stake
LOL Cael doesn't sweat EVER!
Mendez is so tough. Everyone is battling for 2nd at 141.
He asked for season tickets at Iowa state when he signed with them I wonder if he asked the same at Penn State
Tonight's dual was over as soon as PSU won at 125.
