Not sure how freestyle stepouts work but Alirez's foot was out of bounds before he scored the 4.
I could be wrong on this, but I believe if Beau steps out first they allow continuation giving Alirez a chance to complete his TD. If Alirez steps out first then it would have been blown dead.
I can't even believe all of these matches that are coming up in the quarters. It's going to be insane
Mirasola looking GREAT! Got a TD on Brooks, up 2-1 early in 1st.
More TDs on Brooks than the entire NCAA had this season. Wow.
Aaron proving to be a level above, but Connor looked awesome.

Easy on that celebration Trent, you were owned by PSU your entire career until you beat a guy you outweigh by 20 pounds
:45 seconds into the messenbrink match and it's pretty clear that his opponent, Lockett, is a clown.
Never like it when a PSU guy loses, but this might increase the odds of CS returning for a 5th season.
That version of JB is not beating Mitchell imo
