Wow, unreal. Michell is just a nightmare match up for Caliendo. I thought this might be closer than the last couple times they met.

He's a nightmare for everyone at this weight.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I can't believe Haines didn't secure that bonus point! 😏

 

[dbldoofus]

I can't believe Haines didn't secure that bonus point!

DOOOMED!

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Kasak might have solidified himself as a 4 year starter at psu after that one..

Assuming he doesn't transfer to Rutgers.

 

[jmadden1998]

I can't believe Haines didn't secure that bonus point!

That's what Cael means when he says Iowa shows you what you need to work on. Big escapes so we don't get bonused.

 

[nittinsc]

I can't believe Haines didn't secure that bonus point! 😏

I'm getting concerned

Brands boys better work those Iowa wrestlers harder, they have no answer for PSU in the third period. Domination!

 

[pointingdogsrule]

He’ll have to run laps as his punishment!!!

 

[junior1]

I'm getting concerned

well if iowa pins out last 3 matches they can tie

 

[PAgeologist]

I can't believe Haines didn't secure that bonus point! 😏

I know it's a joke. But I'd bet he is a little pissed he didnt.

A little quick on the stall calls.

A little quick on the stall calls.

i thought pushing wasn’t offense?

 

[PAgeologist]

A little quick on the stall calls.

I don't know. AF backed off for 1. Then stayed OOB when given room to work back in. Both warranted IMO.

 

[SUPERTODD]

For guys who fancy themselves tough guys the Ferraris really wrestle like bitches. They spend more time on their knees than two dollar whores.

 

[jmadden1998]

I mean...shocking that you agree with them.

 

[jmadden1998]

Dominant.

 

[backdrft76]

Angelo isn't that bad. The 3 Ferrari's at Iowa will be interesting next year.

He was shooting the whole match, as a true freshman against a 4x Natty champ that was a damn good match.

Much better than I thought - a true freshman vs a 6th year senior. I thought Carter would dominate but won it without a takedown

 

[PAHURDLER]

Angelo isn't that bad. The 3 Ferrari's at Iowa will be interesting next year.

Angelo gave Carter a real solid match. He’s a tough match up for a lot of guys.

Angelo also made Gabe look like a bitch.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Thats not going to happen unless Slumlord Bob gives Angelo a couple of Stradales

 

[jmadden1998]

Good effort.

 

[billrag]

Well, that's disappointing, but I guess our expectations are pretty high.

 

[Pale ryder]

He was shooting the whole match, as a true freshman against a 4x Natty champ that was a damn good match.

CS was right. Ferrari is the better wrestler.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Wow, Barr normally so tough on top, but Buchanon's very quick escape (4 seconds) in the 3rd period changed the entire complexion of the 197 bout.

 

[PAgeologist]

Well. Not completely unexpected. But Barr needs to get out quicker and get to some offense.

 

[jmadden1998]

Buchannon won't make the finals wrestling like that he's a bum doesn't do anything by hold on maybe he should watch messinbrink

Worst take of the night and that's saying something. Like seriously, you call the dude a bum.

 

[GableBeer]

Buchannon won't make the finals wrestling like that he's a bum doesn't do anything by hold on maybe he should watch messinbrink

Buchanan rode him for 1 minute, escaped in 3 seconds, and then got the match sealing takedown. What else do you want him to do?

 

[Little J]

Barr was out wrestled tonight pure and simple.

 

[District four]

Worst take of the night and that's saying something. Like seriously, you call the dude a bum.

Okay maybe not a bum but definitely doesn't wrestle like a dominant number one ranked wrestler he hangs on. That better

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

A little quick on the stall calls.

The first stall on Ferrari was totally justified, as he just kept backing out of bounds. The second call was maybe a little questionable, but probably called on a cumulative basis, as Ferrari did a lot of edge wrestling.

 

[PAgeologist]

Buchannon won't make the finals wrestling like that he's a bum doesn't do anything by hold on maybe he should watch messinbrink

He still beat our guy.

 

[GableBeer]

Okay maybe not a bum but definitely doesn't wrestle like a dominant number one ranked wrestler he hangs on. That better

He’s not wrestling some 20th ranked bum, give Barr some credit. Did you think Starocci had some dominant match?

 

[District four]

He still beat our guy.
