I guess the fact he could have re-injured his leg ending his season and risking his career is irrelevant.

I don’t think anyone can reasonably argue that Carter is anything close to 100%. The kid is the ultimate warrior, though.
Mekhi makes that happen doesn't he? It's not like Mekhi is going to try to light it up.
Ehhh. Normally I’d agree with you. But I also think Mekhi probably smells blood in the water.
Yeah, as we can see, Carter isn't remotely close to 100%. Maybe 80% at best right now. Wrestling the B1G's would have been dumb as hell.
Any chance Carter is pulling a rope-a-dope and comes out tomorrow without the brace?
174: #9 C.Starocci vs. #8 A.Kemp (POLY)
P1:
Kemp in on a leg for a quick TD 3-0
Kemp riding
Starocci escape 3-1
Starocci stalking, slowly pushing forward, but no shots
Tying up
Starocci gets the leg & a TD on the edge 4-3
Starocci breaks him down, riding tough
Kemp tries to get up, gets halfway up, but Carter breaks him down flat again.
Starocci rides him out
P2:
Starocci takes down
Starocci on his feet, turns & is out for the escape 5-3
Starocci stalking, slowly moving forward, but not really shooting, just tying up and controlling Kemp
Kemp tries a little shot, but Starocci ties him up.

Starocci with a shot, but Kemp sprawls out of it
Period ends
P3:
Kemp takes neutral
Starocci pushing forward again
Kemp stall warning
Starocci shoots, but nothing
Kemp shoots, but Starocci blocks him off
Kemp shoots, Starocci sprawls back hard on the edge, & then turns back in,
Carter just holding on & not trying much, stalemate
Period ends
#9 C.Starocci DEC #8 A.Kemp 5-3
Starocci doesn't look like his dominant self. Hopefully, he's saving himself for the tougher rounds. No bonus, but that's another win!
After seeing Carter's first two matches, I'm glad the coaches didn't let him wrestle at Big Tens. Coach knows best!

But but but that 7 or 14 minutes of match time would've helped his conditioning so much.
Another year, another ESPN boycott of PSU wrestlers
He just wrestled a 4-1 match against a 14 seed! You may think that, but there's no evidence that shows Mekhi wrestles any differently.
The only reason ESPN put CStar's match on was because he was behind.
These clowns are unbelievable, a brick challenge or equipment malfunction and they stay on the match, instead of going to another one.
I think other programs are bitching that ESPN is recruiting for PSU with all the free Saturday night infomercials they give them.
Not to be a smart-ass but Carter looks like a 9 seed right now...
Id like to see 8 wrestlers beat him.
And Lewis just won a close one to the 16 seed…
Criminal what the NCAA did with the 1 & 2 seeds relative to Starocci - just absurd as the 1st RD unequivocally proved.
Put JB on….. and hit the mute on the tv
