Falls in NCAA Placement Bouts

[RoarLions1]

I was reading the thread "Lions Getting Pinned", and took a trip back memory lane. Wasn't focused on just Penn State wrestlers, instead taking a look at all falls in any of the 4 placement bouts for the 10 weight classes over the past 10 years. That's 400 bouts (10x4x10). I looked at placement bouts only as these were held when the lights were brightest. Of course the finals bouts has the brightest lights.

There were 36 falls in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th place bouts. Five happened in the finals, three involving Penn Staters, as mentioned in the Lions Getting Pinned thread. Can you name the other two?

Of the 36 falls, there were also 10 in 3rd Place bouts, 12 in 5th Place bouts, and 9 in 7th Place bouts. There was another Penn State fall, besides the two finals wins, that happened in a placement bout. Who was it?

A couple guys (non-Penn State) doubled up on the good or bad fortune, one with two placement bout falls, and another guy pinned twice in placement bouts. Who were the two wrestlers?

Every year in the last 10 had at least one fall in the placement bouts, with 2017 and 2018 having 7 each. That's a lot, I thought. One year, there were two falls in the finals. Which year?

Kilgore pinned someone the year before he redshirted and two year before Q beat him in the finals.

Andrew Long with a fall in the wrestlebacks but not sure if it was a placement match.

Scott Moore his senior year while at Virginia with two falls after losing in the semis but that is not in the last 10 years. That is all I got off the top of my head.

Dang, two falls in the finals had me stumped but should have been easy but I had to look it up so will not answer.

Kilgore was one of them -- beat Clayton Foster from OKST. Foster was winning and looked good, but got sloppy with a crab ride and put himself on his back.

The other was Kyven Gadson chucking Kyle Snyder.

Both were at 197.
