Truax was telling him c'mon man stand up!!!
I did an in depth statistical analysis and came to the conclusion that there are two kinds of wrestling fans. Fans who root for Penn State and fans who root for everyone else.
I'm making a rule.

I guess you’re right and I’m the idiot. I assumed that PSU would be on for more than 5 minutes all day. Live and learn.
Buchanan looked really good. I wonder if he can give Brooks a good workout tomorrow.
$20 says that we see a LOT more than 5 minutes of Penn State wrestlers tomorrow and Saturday.
Andy Smith with a great shot late against Allred down 4-2 - then proceeds to all but hand Allred his leg and gets tied up and loses
I really want him to wrestle Brooks the way he does everybody else. Throw everything at him. Would be a treat to watch.
Meanwhile no drama Kerk is calmly getting the job done
let this guy up and destroy him Kerk!
He’s got a TD any time he wants it

He does and want to know whats wild is he could redshirt and come back 2 years from now
19-20 ORS (he qualified so it counts automatically)
20-21 COVID
21-22 FR
22-23 SO
23-24 JR
24-25 SR (but he has his regular redshirt)
Exactly, 16 Seed Turley (Rutgers) gave Lewis everything he wanted in RD 2 - Turley had a chance to win it in 3rd. Kemp was an 8 Seed and Starocci beat him much easier than Lewis beat 16 Seed Turley. How precisely has Lewis looked better so far than Starocci? Kemp is no slouch and Carter handled him pretty easily - wrestled him extremely conservatively the last 2 periods, probably to conserve energy and take no chances, but controlled the match from the point he scored his TD to the end.
The Nagao and Kasak first round matches surprised me. I had Aaron losing in round two. I did have Kasak winning the first two rounds but thought it possible that Braeden would lose in the first two rounds. So overall, we are sitting almost exactly where I thought we would be going into Friday. 8 in quarters, 2 still going on the backside.
I'm happy with the day!

It is frustrating the way Kerk wrestles. He could have teched this guy with takedowns with ease. I just will never understand the philosophy of riding a guy 4 plus minutes when there is a 3 point takedown and Kerk could have broke him on his feet and got a techfall. Yeah i know it is complaining and in the long run it will not matter. But as a fan its also boring to watch a guy just lay on the other guy when both guys are not really doing anything.
Iowa and OSU trading wins/Losses? Feldman goes to the quarters to be felled by Kerk. Glazier lives to fight another day.
Great session for PSU. Come out tomorrow and keep it going!

we'll take him if you don't want him
I was there soaking wet and watched PSU score 3 other tds. Trouble is the fumble layed on the 5 yd line all 3 times!
I think it's mostly to stay healthy. Getting caught under one of these rhinos probably doesn't feel so good. Why put yourself in that position if you can just lay on him the whole time and stay healthy.
lol shane describing schultz's special skill as being big
It’s day 1. There are 3 days of competition. It’s possible that those guys are coached to pace themselves accordingly.
Yeah catch and release is no big deal if you're 125 but throwing your body around if you're a giant like GK will take it's toll in you.
Carter has given up a TD in both of his matches to way lesser opponents, he's clearly not going to fight certain positions (and rightfully so) Taking down Mekhi is hard enough as is when you're healthy.
I hope I look like an idiot for doubting Carter but I don't see it unless he REALLY sandbagged today.
