Interesting. You may be right.
I just got home and didn't see the Lewis match. I would guess though that it has more to do with him getting off bottom rather than him making mistakes. Maybe he thought he was good enough to get riding time and force OT.
Negron is a fighter for sure. I still think Joe has the highest ceiling at 157, he's by far the most proven at the college level. Part of me thinks he'd thrive at a school like Purdue where he isn't living up to his older brother's expectations and he has no worries about team races on his mind. I doubt he's uncoachable, he was raised by a military family and all anecdotal evidence is he's a very hard worker who wants to be good. But he seems to forget everything when he's wrestling and I sometimes wonder if it's the pressure of it all hitting him in a match.
Yesterday, it seemed like Joe was wrestling straight on and not working for angles, especially in the 3rd when he needed the TD. I hope he figures it out, because you’re right about his high ceiling.
He’s goooooood.
Maybe you are right but Loew got teched by Venz. That result doesn’t scream that he should beat someone like Bolen
Venz is the most interesting wrestler of all time. When he's on, he can impose his will and beat anyone, maybe even bully them. Then when he's off, he looks like a non NQ level guy.
Here is my theory in more detail ... for what it is worth:
If no one else does the PSU match, I’ll do it again but I’m not PBP’ing a bunch of Iowa wins.
