...by juggling their lineup?...
... they probably need 6 wins...
...I think their best bet would be to put their backup 133# in and move Clark up ... trying to win Ist 3...
...Carpon is a tough kid and not an easy 6 for PSU...
...then Kemmerer would move up to 165# and Brooks to 197# trying to win those 2 plus 275#...
...hmmmm...
 
They aren't going to do this. They need Kemmerer to wrestle Nolf now, before the B1G tournament and before March. Kemmerer can't bump up at the B1G and at NCAA so he needs to get to know Nolf. I don't think he's going to beat Nolf this year, and I don't think he'll even keep it close at any point, but if I'm Brands I make sure he gets to wrestle Nolf as much as possible before March.

I agree 100%...Clark is going to destroy Carpenter. I hope I'm wrong.

I think it's just going to happen: We don't turtle up, for anyone, ever. Other coaches would tell their kid to turtle and take the tech fall, that will not happen here. A fairly good chance that this match will come down to Heavyweight. Looks like Stoll not injured seriously, so it will be head to head with NN. Clash of styles.

I can't see them winning more than 4 matches.

We will also have some bonus opportunities in 4 matches. But we'll see. Should be fun.

Nevills will beat Stoll. Better athlete, better wrestler.

Please, please send an injured 133 against a full strength, healthy 141. Lose the match, give up the momentum, re-injure the shoulder this close to B1G. It'd be great.

Win 4 matches, lose 6 matches, but hold us to decisions in every one of them, we win on by 3.
 
If Jimmy is ready and wins at 141 - even if Iowa gets 6 @ 133, it's gonna be really tough for Iowa to win the dual.

Iowa would have to be almost perfect in swing matches and need at least one upset if Jimmy wins @ 141.

This would ensure a victory. For Penn State.

I don't think Iowa can win the dual if they have lost a match prior to Zain. But we'll see.
